TATIANA PARCERO

Tatiana Parcero was born in Mexico and received a Master’s of Art in Photography and Art Theory from New York University/ International Center of Photography and a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico.  Parcero has exhibited nationally and internationally in venues such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach, California, Museo Archivo de la Fotografia, Mexico City, and Festival Terre d’Images in Biarritz, France. She has received numerous awards including a three-year fellowship granted by National System of Art Creators, National Fund for Culture and the Arts (FONCA), Mexico, which allowed for the continued development of this most recent body of work (Universus). Her work is widely collected by photography enthusiasts and distinguished museums and universities alike.  

Parcero is a photo-based artist whose imagery continuously delineates themes of ritual, religion, and the intricate traditions of various cultures. In her most recent body of work, Universus, Parcero poetically depicts these themes with imagery that is superimposed on to the image of her own body, communicating ideas relating to identity, memory, territory and time. In this and her previous series as well, Parcero has also worked with self-portraits covered in symbols and illustrations to metaphorically trace the lineage between her personal experiences as they relate to the broader human experience.

She currently lives and works in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
