Pilar Albarracin

Born in 1968, in Spain
Lives and works in Sevilla (Spain)

Since the 1990s, Pilar Albarracin has been making performances that denounce the archetypes and violence of macho society using Spanish clichés and popular culture.

Biography

With irony and humour, she takes on different roles of gypsy, toreador or middle-class housewife in situations that range from the trivial – making a tortilla – to the dramatic: rape. Her actions gain pace and momentum, merge eroticism and death, and show ridicule and cruelty as means of social criticism.
