Distorted Scenarios
Through conditioned perception of space, we generate our internal collages, which do not just depend on our own spatial capabilities, but also on innumerable parameters and conditions, such as light sources, mood, isolation, objects or concentration. The assessment of reality is, in a way, a playful experience, with abounding combinations and permutations. Lots of layers of visual communication result in one intellectualized image. One thousand snapshots result in one "defragmented unique” image inside our brain.
With this series, “Distorted Scenarios”, I intend to show the subjectiveness of our visual perception of the existing physical scene. A particular combination of details which create a different whole scenario, depending on the way they are assembled. One variation in one factor could alter the entire perception.

about the photographer
As a child in Madrid, Angela was already curious about photography, but it was during her architecture studies that Angela began to show a serious interest. While working in the Netherlands, she began to photograph regularly, experimenting with architectural photography and collage. Later, she worked on the curation of an exhibition on the American photographer Zoe Strauss, where photos of Angela and other photographers were also included. Angela later moved to NYC, where she complemented her training with studies at the ICP and began a more extensive photographic work (Off Broadway, Make Music NYC, film collectives ...) that she continued on her return to Madrid. Angela has been part of several group exhibitions: Photoville (NY), BA Gallery (Berlin), Photoespaña (Madrid), Foley Gallery (NY) or COAM (Madrid), and has received a series of awards for her photographs: OHNY (NY), ND Awards (NY), etc. She is interested in the interaction between individuals and their surrounding built environment.back to gallery
