Descripción de la Exposición
In her work, Sandra Vásquez de la Horra addresses conflicts that are currently preoccupying us worldwide. Her works combine archetypes of our collective consciousness, taboos, gender issues and sexuality, intercultural reflections and questions of spiritual practice. She uses dreams, the subconscious and memories to create a poetic visual world between the imaginary and the real, with human existence at its centre. De la Horra grew up at a time when her native Chile was dominated by torture, abductions and human rights violations following the military junta’s coup in 1973. The history of Chile has influenced her drawings, sculptures and installations just as much as her own family history, the mythologies of the indigenous population and colonial rule by European countries in Central and South America. At the Akademie der Künste, she is showing over 60 selected drawings, photographs and objects that unfold in a site-specific installation.
