Paz Errazuriz
Until August 9, 2021, the exhibition "Paz Errázuriz," works from the MAPFRE Collection, can be visited by appointment at the Museo de Arte Miguel Urrutia - MAMU.
The exhibition presents the work of Paz Errázuriz (Santiago de Chile, 1944), characterized by a curiosity towards the human condition and the social parameters in which it is inscribed. The selection of works in this exhibition is based on a chronological reading of the work and the thematic line composed of groups of photographs that she has organized from the 1970s to the present.
The exhibition is the first retrospective of the photographer in Colombia and consists of 171 photographs and two videos that Fundación MAPFRE acquired in 2018 to form part of its Photography Collections. With this, the institution expands the representation of Latin American photography in its collection.
Paz Errázuriz did not follow a training in photography. She learned her relationship with this technique as time went by, also as she traveled. It can be said that Errázuriz is a walking photographer within her country and that she has frequented different places –
Patagonia, central Chile, Talca, Valparaíso, Santiago. However, it is not the landscapes, the natural environment, that mainly attracts her attention, but the individuals who live in those places and the personal or collective stories surrounding them.
Her photographic work began in the 1970s, in the context of the Pinochet dictatorship, and continues today. Her projects often involve a transgression of the rules of the military regime by daring to step into environments considered undesirable: brothels, asylums, psychiatric centers, boxing clubs where women are not welcome, and spaces where confinement predominates. In them, she seems to look for unique behaviors and forms of resistance to the imposed rules.
