It therefore took me a little more than two years of research and testing to be able to design a complete black and white development chain for paper emulsions, a developer, a stop bath and a fixative.

They are linked to memory and personal history, but, paradoxically, as…
Claudia Huidobro was a model, strong from this experience of the manufactured image, she questions the gaze on the idealized woman, through fifteen works whose primary matter are photographs from magazines.

The “Tools” used by the “Wonderful Women” to make themselves beautiful…

Her strides through forests, her gaze upon archaeological ruins, and her wanderings among abandoned Byzantine churches shaped her vision. The hidden cemeteries overlooking the Sea of Marmara…
