MADRID.- The
young Mexican artist
Alejandra Laviada took part in the portfolio presentation which took
place in
Mexico City in 2009, later receiving the Descubrimientos PHE (Discoveries
PHE) Brugal Extra Viejo
Award for her series Photo Sculptures, in which she photographs
ephemeral
sculptures created from discarded objects. This group of photographs
alters the
concept of daily objects, it registers spaces which are completely
demolished or
transformed and implies the stories of the people who live there.   She was awarded honorable mention
at the XII Photography Biennial in Mexico, and her work was singled out
by
critics when it was most recently shown as part of the exhibit “Chisel”
at the
first New York Photo Festival.
