In her first solo show "Poética de la Confrontació", Arale Reartes brings together three photographic series: Mechanics of a Female Body, Object/Subject and Armour: Mise en Abyme. Through self-portraiture and staged environments, the works reflect the ways in which women are compelled or forced to develop a constant awareness of their bodies and their presence within different social contexts.
In her work, the female body appears not only as a subject, but as a site of negotiation between the self and the social structures that shape perception. While men rarely have to consider their appearances in the same persistent way, women often move through the world with an acute consciousness of how they are seen, judged and, most importantly, interpreted. Her thorough approach questions why this awareness becomes a necessary survival mechanism.
