Paisajes series
Cecilia Paredes explores the theme of identity through ethereal “photo performances” in her Paisajes (Landscapes) series, in which she camouflages her body and face against beautifully patterned backdrops and disappears amongst the ornamentation. By presenting herself as part of the landscape, Paredes builds her identity in relation to her world and raises the question of how our environment influences who we are. Born in Lima, Peru, Paredes often disguises herself among flora. The sweeping lines of foliage and the rich hues that paint the backdrop and the artist’s body put her in an intimate conversation with nature. “I wrap, cover, or paint my body with the same material pattern and represent myself as part of that landscape. Through this act, I am working on the theme of building my own identification with the environment where I live or where I feel I can call home.”
