Gabriela Martin

I am focused on organizing the chaos we experience. I create categories: collections, archives, sections, measurements, headings, indexes, timelines, codes, alphabets and lists. I search and detect: patterns, cycles, antonyms and synonyms, oppositions and complementarities, contradictions and coherence, tensions and distensions, fugacity and persistence.

I work by themes and series, which allows me to set myself research objectives that, once fulfilled, turn this group of works into a cabinet of living curiosities where life experiences coexist under a new visual narrative.

Once a case is closed, reorganized and learned the vital lesson, I travel on foot to another place of experience to explore those chaotic archaeological sites full of keys to unravel to give them an artistic reconstruction.

Looking for inspiration, I look at my own life experiences as well as the experiences of other people, so sometimes I ask for collaboration from others: a memory, a note of his fist and lyrics, selecting a color, a word, a song and from there I give birth to a new experience, in a sense, more collective.
