Karen Paulina Biswell was born to Colombian parents who emigrated to Paris escaping the extreme political violence of the early 90’s. Based on her amphibious experience between the western European world and a visual attraction to the reality underlying the romantic rhetoric of indigenous peoples, she constructs a visual universe that generates intense tensions between the historical past, mythical time and contemporary present. The images that Biswell reveals are moments that manifest as a ritual essence, at the same time they evoke the classic editorials of fashion publications.
