Tamara Zentner

Tamara Zentner born in 1987 in the city of Santa Fe, Coast of Argentina. She is a Ph.D. student in Social Studies (IHUCSO-UNL), Graduated in Sociology (UNL) and Technical in Photography (Esc. Alem).
He has traveled through various formal and non-formal education spaces, and is committed to collective and self-managing processes as ways of producing and promoting projects.
It uses photography as a device for creation, memory and symbolization; as a research and expression tool. He works with expanded photography, taking the images to different supports, intervening them with diverse materials, giving life to the photos through fanzines, samples, urban interventions, projections.
Since 2020, he has been developing – with the guidance and accompaniment of the artist Natacha Ebers – the multidisciplinary project “Los diarios del cuerpo”, an investigation into mental health through the body and photography, which began as an exploratory project based on a personal and collective crisis in the context of the Covid-19 Pandemic. There he addresses the links between image-body-mind – materiality-identity-symbols-symptoms, working with self-portraits, photo performance, image transfer, lesbian genealogies, analog collages and writing. Through his own experiences, he investigates how artistic practice can offer concrete tools to overcome moments of mental health crisis.
It addresses photography, self-portraiture and photoperformance as central tools in processes of identity construction and questioning of imposed gender roles.
Through the creation of images, he seeks to construct reality, question the political in the personal, understand his own processes that connect with other people, their histories and their processes.
