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. She considers images as theoretical agents capable of developing models from which to understand and expand the contemporary visual landscape. The notion of project  is essential in her method of work, in which images generate instructions for use and engender narratives that arise only because  of the images themselves. 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.
