Alicia Porcel de Peralta was born 1959 in Cordoba, Argentina and since 2004 she lives and works in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Peralta has worked in painting, sculpture, film, video and installations in New York, Mexico and Argentina. Her latest works are sculptures, fragile porcelain intervened, mirrors, acrylic and a third element that encompasses the liquid plaster, strengthening the fragility and allows the risk, the hazard at the moment of manufacture. Several works, where she assumed a continuous search for the construction of the impossible, the construction of an image and its reflection, reaffirms the asymmetry of the imperfect. The photographic productions come from performances and installations. Issues related with Violence have moved her, especially Violence in a domestic space. Peralta describes her artistry – “To think about how we see and what touches us. To believe in ourselves and understand what we have become and what we have created. To show the result of our decisions, the world which we are constructing while we are sleeping or drinking. History awakes me every morning only to give me a simple view of what I have to change or what I have to perpetuate, unfailingly. Sometimes, most times, I choose the same thing. Like my pieces, compulsively I take and arrange the same objects to build my day, my work.”
