My booty investigates what is valuable and
how an object can become a status symbol. (This research is
inspired by the Victoria & Albert and British Museum collections).
According to Wikipedia, “The traditional meaning of
booty is something both valuable and acquired by force or
daring. The proceeds of criminal activity are sometimes referred
to as booty, especially from piratical exploits. Historically,
booty included plunder (from an enemy), loot (from piracy),
or a prize (won by daring)".
My Booty focuses on the notion of "CULTURAL PRODUCTIONS"
and produces a new reading of this concept. My Booty re-appropriates
books, images and data from famous collections of bowls, vases,
guacos, porcelains, ceramics and glasses, by means of collage,
cultural-video and painting on canvas.
The pieces are the patrimony of different collections and
museums and their origins range from imperial collections
to Bauhaus pieces
