María María Acha-Kutscher rewrites historical past. Whether or not in black-and-white photocollages or in large-scale drawings based mostly on the aesthetics of 1970s comics, rectifying the past stays her most important concern. Describing herself as a feminist artist, this Chilean artistic, based mostly in Madrid, carries out long-term tasks that discover the cultural development of the notion of femininity and highlight the struggles towards gender discrimination.&
Since 2010, she has been working at Womankind with the goal of rethinking the best way during which ladies’s narratives have been constructed and introduced, within the background of hegemonic and patriarchal discourses, because the invention of images. To do that, she recreates, by digital photocollage, archival pictures with totally different goals to create a parallel world: typically the protagonists are in contradictory postures to these present in art history (Womankind. 365 days; Perseverance); typically they are finishing up the tasks traditionally assigned to them but displaced in ruined homes (Womankind. Derruidas); typically, finally, we find these ladies, described as “radicalized,” in inside scenes with a intentionally romantic aesthetic which will appear so banal that we might not suspect that it is a montage (Womankind. Saudade). By way of this constellation of pictures and characters, María María Acha-Kutscher proposes a new visual landscape, extra complicated and nuanced, where feminist political struggles and intimate spaces are rehabilitated
