Sara Escribano
(Madrid, Spain, 1988)
​
Engineer and artist, currently based in Hamburg.
Multidisciplinary artist, producer of large format installations, site-specific art, street interventions and expanded photography.
​
Through my artistic practice I seek to create encounters, the existing reality turns into a playground in which I invite the other to play with me, to open a dialogue, a new process, a new reality.
I am interested in being in an encounter with others in our shared reality, in opening a process of questioning the everyday gaze and visual environment and spaces which it is subjected to.
​
Being analog photography my artistic origin, my means of expression evolve and adapt in each art piece; sometimes I use embroidery as an intervention technique and others space and street itself helps me to generate spontaneous and ephemeral works.
Space and site- specific pieces have become main topics in my art.
​
Currently investigating unexpected dialogues, choreographies and the play of light through everyday spaces, and working in exchange with Johannesburg artists preparing an upcoming exhibition for Deichtorhallen Museum of Hamburg.
