Maria Svarbova | Rose Barberat

Saenger Galería presents a guided tour of its current exhibitions (Surface by Maria Svarbova and Train, breathe and perform by Rose Barberat) with artist Paola Dávila.

Paola Dávila (Oaxaca, Mexico. 1980)

Since her beginnings, Paola Dávila's artistic work has used photography as a means to investigate, through the creation of images, books, and installations, the meaning of “dwelling.” Whether depicting houses, burrows, landscapes, or journeys on a map, her images question the conditions that determine the cultural and social occupation of spaces. Public or private, these spaces are always associated with affection: with the intimate, concrete, and sensitive experience of being-in-the-world.

With 14 solo exhibitions and more than 60 group exhibitions in Mexico and abroad, Paola Dávila has received, among other recognitions, the Photography Biennial (Mexico, 2021) and Visual Arts (Yucatán, 2012) awards, the Tierney N.Y. (2010), Artist Residencies (Salzburg, 2014 and Banff, 2009) and Young Creators (FONCA 2003, 2006 and 2011).

His work is part of the collections of MUAC, the EPO Foundation, the Tierney Foundation, the Museo Universitario del Chopo, the National Photo Library, and the Manuel Álvarez Bravo Photography Center, among others. He has been a member of the National System of Creators since 2020.
