Natasha Nina (b. 1997 in Århus, Denmark; raised in La Paz, Bolivia)
is a photographer and visual artist based between Brussels and La Paz.
Coming from a research background in political sociology, she came to image-making not through
formal art training but through an early and persistent obsession with images and visual culture.
Her practice moves between photography and installation / accumulation and arrangement,
often beginning from what has already gathered: pictures and screenshots in her camera roll,
the objects she has been carrying around, and the motifs that keep returning. From this,
she brings together series and installations that look closely to the everyday.
Her work lingers on the familiar, holding it long enough to see it differently.
Running through all this is an attention to identity and the condition of exisisting in-between,
of holding two opposite things at once without resolving them. Drawing on the concept of ch'ixi
developed by Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui and the borderlands thinking of Gloria Anzaldúa,
her work approaches contradiction not as a problem to solve but as a generative condition.
She is a founding member of the collective Curando.
