Blanca Casas Brullet questions the representation of the body and its inscription in
its environment, paying particular attention to language, the polysemy of words,
their poetic power, which can be violent, or the strangeness of some metaphors
translated literally into images. In her installations she uses different media such
as photography and video, but also performance, drawing and three-dimensional
objects. These operate through poetic associations and the juxtaposition of pieces,
which, while retaining their own precarious autonomy, steering clear from the
monumental and the massive, are enriched by their reciprocal closeness. The
resulting images are those of a body constituted through stratification, losses or
proximity and contamination with the other.
Croquis ["Sketches"] is a work of animation that functions like a roughbook in which
the artist's annotations, drawings and various ideas come to life in the form of
short sequences or sketches (the English word "sketch" refers to both a type of
drawing and a playlet). Thus, page after page, the artist shows us a handwritten
note become drawing, a video sequence captured in the making or a moving sketch, all
transformed by the black line on the white background of the page.
