Blanca Casas Brullet's Transformative Practice Explored
Born in 1973 in Mataró, Spain, and currently residing in Paris, Blanca Casas Brullet investigates transformation through diverse mediums. Her 2012 exhibition "Déballage" at Maison Bernard Anthonioz emphasized the reflective qualities of photography. Notable early works include the 2001 video "Prendas," featuring dancer Arantxa Martinez, which represents the act of creation. The "Portraits" series from 2004 incorporates intrusive elements inspired by Roland Barthes's concept of punctum. At Maison Bernard Anthonioz, she presented "Esborralls" sculptures reminiscent of analog photography, while "Prélèvements (études)" utilize cutouts as pinhole cameras. The 2011 video "Faire (le noir)" pays tribute to techniques of image appearance. Recent solo exhibitions include "Esborralls" at Galerie Françoise Paviot, Paris (2011), and "Blanc sota Negre" at Museu del Moli Paperer de Capellades, Spain (2012), with text by critic Audrey Illouz.
