El Aire. Fotografías del alma (Air. Photografies of the Soul) - First approaches to the project Anatomía poética

http://anatomia-poetica.blogspot.com

Anatomia poética is an immersion in the dissected body studies that have configured the occidental medical gaze. Elena is at present visiting with the film director Sylvia Calle some of the most important European anatomical collections, having access to original pieces and collecting varied visual information. In parallel, she is developing some work with several performers focusing on specific muscular groups; and accompanies this studio work with photographic sessions by Javier Marquerie Thomas. Out of this special transposing of her reflections into live bodies a strong and detailed visual material is emerging.
