Dear Shaded Viewers,
More news from La Encartada Moda, this time it is the photos of Elssie Ansareo's book El Observatorio. The pictures were taken at The Hustlers Concert at Serie B Shop, november 2012, Bilbao. The singer, Jorge Lastra, is also a dancer. Elssie Ansareo was born in Mexico D.F. in 1979, with a degree in Fine Arts from the University of the Basque Country where she also attended PhD Courses in Technological Image.
Elssie has shown individually at the Espacio Marzana (Bilbao), Cubo Azul (Leon) and Sala Bastero (Andoain), and has taken part in several collective shows at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Gabarron Foundation in New York, La Casa Encendida in Madrid, the Contemporary Art Centre in Malaga, ARTIUM in Vitoria and recently in La Encartada.
The Observatory. The book is the result of a research on hysteria. The publication is comprised of two parts, the first of which collects a set of terms associated with hysteria, by way of a glossary, that emerged from conversations between the artist, and psychologist Imanol Amayra, Director of the Department of Personality, at the University of Deusto. The second part shows the photographic result of the archive. This book has been selected as one of the 20 Best Non Fiction Book in 2013 byNotodo. And its designer, Borja Iribarnegaray with this work, has been selected one of the 15 best graphic designers of the Basque Country in 2013.
Later,
Diane
