Sara Ferrer
Madrid, 1979. Lives and work in Berlin
Through her artistic exploration, Sara Ferrer delves into the intricate relationship between physical and emotional dimensions, transcending the boundaries that separate conscious and unconscious connections. Her engagement with the underwater world, the sea, and other aquatic environments adds depth to her practice. Her journey unfolds as a captivating personal narrative, navigating various processes, objects, and materials. In her work, she questions the profound complexity of emotions through aesthetic simplicity.
Specializing in a wide array of artistic mediums, including art installations, sculptures, video, photography, and other expressions, Sara's work reflects a commitment to pushing artistic boundaries and exploring the multifaceted nature of human connection with the natural world.
Her work delves into the nuances of social and personal values, unravelling the ambiguities hidden in our daily actions. Moreover, Sara's commitment goes beyond mere artistic expression; it extends into the ethically charged realm of preserving the vast expanse of the ocean, a cartographic space susceptible to both sovereign and commercial exploitation. Through her creation and active involvement in social projects within the diving community, Sara ardently contributes to the preservation of this vital ecosystem.
For Sara, water transcends its physicality; it is the primary resource for social and personal memory, a reserve from which we gain understanding of the past and inspiration to shape the future.
