Mabel Palacín graduated in History of Art and Cinema, photography and video from the University of Barcelona. She currently works between Barcelona and Milan. The subject of her work is photography considered in all its mutations, including cinema, video and its digital variants.

In her work the content of the images is always the spectator, and the spatial dimension as well as the multiple projection of some of these works strongly request the viewer, establishing links between image and architecture.
