Mayte Vieta started working with sculpture but in the last few years has centred on a photographic discourse which she uses as a pretext to highlight the ambivalence of the visible. Her images taken from real life sequences create in her work certain dichotomies associated with postmodernity: absence-presence, life-death, natural-artificial, reflections of ourselves. The artist distances herself from the classical concept of photography by researching, manipulating and transforming her material so as to, in her words, “capture the instant” and establish a dialogue between space and time. Her work aims to introduce the viewer to a multitude of places freighted with atmospheric force, dreamt spaces endowed with symbology and sensibility.
