YVONNE VENEGAS – BORRANDO LA LINEA

Posted on 2013-06-24

Venegas continues to investigate the notion of portraiture. This practice was instilled in the artist through the work of her father- a photographer who captures various social events in the Mexican city of Tijuana. As a youth, Yvonne began her exploration of capturing images through photographs that she took of her twin sister Julieta, now a famous pop singer in Mexico.

It is this particular notion of blurred reality that fascinates Venegas. In her images, it is often unclear what is a set, and what is reality. A few images focus on the fans of the band, who seek to emulate the band members by mimicking their school uniform. The irony of fiction juxtaposed with reality becomes crystallized in many of the shots she takes. The process of perception in understanding roles- who is an actor, what is real; is blurred even further in some images, as the subjects of some photos mistake Venegas for her famous twin sister and attempt to capture her image while she is taking theirs. On a larger social scale, the telenovela actors take on huge impact in the culture with their mass popularity. It is suggested that a few of the actors are paired with local politicians in real life as strategy to boost election votes for that candidate. Again fiction runs side by side with reality.
