Nuria López Blanco recently graduated from the MA Sculpture programme of the Royal College of Art, London, holds an MA in Artistic Production from the Polytechnic University of Valencia, and two BAs in Fine Arts and Integral Design from King Juan Carlos University, Madrid. The artist works between image, sculpture and installation, in what she conceives of as the place or scene of a photograph. That place is often perceived as a freeze frame, an image that blurs or is ‘elusive’, that doesn’t quite translate – like speaking in a second language. Shop windows covered in mist are no longer hyper-visible, duty-free floors look like dance floors and floodlights can be blinding – she is interested in the idea of looking as an almost intrusive gesture. Her installations tend to work like film sets, where you can enter the scene and the objects are almost props: they don’t quite do what is expected of them. There is a certain aesthetic of error, of deception revealed, like sneaking in, noiselessly, and being discovered.
