Eulàlia

Eulàlia Grau presents a series of works in which she uses as material the iconography of the media of the moment. Eulàlia uses photographs from the media, which she re-contextualizes and puts in dialogue to obtain very critical social messages. Image games are developed at different levels. Sometimes the work is complex, using the contrast of different images, some of them decontextualizing the others to reach the mockery. In other works it is enough with the introduction of a simple image alien to the main image/anecdote to achieve this effect.

As an example of the first case, a work of 4 registers, divided into 4 squares, which interrelates houses, gardens, police, pretty woman is composed.

As an example of the second type, the work used for the poster in which there is a single scene is used: the interior of a modern airplane, with two smiling hostesses and a large table in the foreground, with a great display of food and drink. Eulalia has merely put a picture of a poorly dressed man at the table with a perplexed gesture.
