The Curator's Project is a series of photographs where Unfunny_Curator, my curatorial alter ego, imitates portraits found online of local museum directors, in an attempt to manifest my desire to become a successful curator of the sector.
This mimetic gesture lets me study these figures and their ways of presenting and representing themselves —their clothing, posture, presence, expression, as well as the spaces they inhabit—, while carrying out a hyperstitional exercise where magical thinking, manifestation and transfiguration become tools as useful as they are absurd.
This project was shown in the exhibition Del poder sobre el poder at Estructuras 3000, with activations by Jordi Bretcha, Bet Pahissa and Ainara Elejalde.
