collaboration
Tamara Arroyo (Madrid, 1972). My work develops according to different concepts. On the one hand, there is the concept of site-specific installation, as in realizing works for a definite space. The final result is a product of the place’s characteristics, its past and my personal experience. I intervene in spaces creating scenes with ephemeral materials (drawings, adhesive tape...) or carry out small actions within them and take pictures afterwards. These pictures serve as a documentation of these interventions but also as independent artworks, establishing an intrinsic connection with their surroundings beyond the specific situation. On the other hand, the search for one’s personal memory and autobiography have led me to return to places of my childhood and youth, and also to create scenographies of places which belonged to my personal memory, although I never got to know them. By means of my artistic work, I create a connection between the past, my personal biography and the present.
