Event
The Mill Adelaide are excited to present Hasta La Raíz, a new exhibition by Carmen Alcedo developed through their Photographer in Residence program, presented with support from the Ana and Christopher Koch Foundation and Black and White Photographic.
Through layered digital and analogue collage, Carmen creates atmospheric images referencing her personal experience of migration from Spain to Australia. Archival images and elements from her hometown of Sevilla are layered with portraits of her grandparents, nieces and her younger self, and contrasted with photographs taken over her four years of living here in Australia. The opera house, iron rich red dirt and twisting branches of gum trees sit alongside images of her children in makeshift La Semana Santa costume; Carmen's beloved nieces play under the watchful eye of a golden winged angel; petals open portals to connection and play.
Deeply complex, and brimming with symbolism and personal narrative Carmen's new body of work invites us into an emotional reflection. What are the emotions that we feel when we think of home? What happens when the idea of home that we long for is no longer a physical place that we can visit? How does identity ebb and flow through our every day life? What anchors us in culture, identity and memory?
