Júlia Ventura

Portugal, 1952
Júlia Ventura graduated in Painting from the School of Fine Arts of Lisbon and studied Video Art at the Concordia University, Montreal, Canada. Her work asks some of the most important postmodernist historical and ontological questions about photographic representation. Using mainly the potential for representation and the reproducibility of photography, and more recently video and painting, her work explores the lexicon of sexual and imagery stereotypes that surround female representation, influential in the course of the artistic and photographic discourse itself. The artist works on the concept of imagery matrix, its massification and otherness, deconstructing its components, creating paradoxes and dialectics that denounce the patriarchal heritage in the construction of the female image and disarticulating the verist legacy of photographic genesis.
