ESPINA is a Photobook made during an artist residency in Valparaíso, Chile.
This publication portrays the street, focusing on fences as a tense limitation between what's private and public. Observing how walls and barbed wire merge with local spiked vegetation, I reflect on how aggressive aspects of these barriers have a unique beauty that provokes nostalgia and positive emotional responses in me.
RISO printed in 4-colours and hand-bound in an edition of 50 copies.
Elisa H. Castillo (b. 1990) is a Chilean artist based in Oslo. Working with analog experimental techniques, Castillo explores the concept of memory and its plasticity. Currently, her work focuses on combining photography, drawing and self publishing, researching on how memories and perception are affected by mental illness. Encompassing the tangible and intangible effects of angst, the artist aims to illustrate symptoms such as temporary memory loss, distorted sensory experiences and the impairment of positive remembrance.
