Title: "Untitled" 2005, this triptych by Pedrosa is concerned with time, war and silence and the weight of these three elements which have been, time and time again, shouldered by women. The shouldering of these three is a near impossibility though women are still forced, by circumstance, society, nation, to attempt to reconcile them.
Idalina Pedrosa (Portugal) ran away from the confines of familial dictatorship in 1985 in order to study photography at the Centre d'Enseignement Photographique Professionnel of Yverdon-les-Bains in Switzerland. Since 1993, she has lived in both France and Portugal, travelling between both countries to live and work. Her work is inspired by various familial realities, mainly focused on the collision between human beings' identities and their various lives, possible and impossible, real and imagined, internal and external. Her work is concerned with the language of the intersection between reality and dream and our constant human search to bridge these worlds: the human desire to be oneself and someone else at the same time.
