Laboratorio de Arte Joven, LAB, hosts tomorrow at 20:30 hours the photographic series 'The body vulnerable' in Victoria Diehl in which the artist explores and uses the creative possibilities of new digital techniques that blends with the aesthetic and mythology of classical sculpture.
Through this exhibition, Dielh gives a twist to the image of classicism and offers a different meaning could be understood as a photographic reinterpretation of the sculptural object to an embodiment of the body alive.
What has made the artist has been photographing sculptures and through digital technology, adding human flesh, so that the old image of the sculpture seems to offer something more than life and away from its cold classical representation.
According to the artist, "in the photographs is shown as the flesh and the stone itself challenging anatomy, biology, time and reason."
Victoria Diehl has been used, among other famous models, sculptures by 'Santa Teresa in Ecstasy by Bernini, the' David 'of Michelangelo and other works from the statutory Greco.
Part of the sample images of the series 'Bodies vulnerable' (2007), 'Life and Death of the statues' (2003-2004) and 'Vanitas' (2005).
