Concha Perez. Alicia, 2006 
Alice Through the Looking Glass Respecting the theme of the seminar, I began to wonder whether there were differences in the representation of space between genders and I find looks masculine and feminine interpretation of space, landscape and territory.
For example, in two groups consisting of photographers de ambos sexos y que trabajan sobre el paisaje, los Becher y Bleda y Rosa , la mirada dominante es la del varón. Una de las grandes discípulas de la Escuela de Düsseldorf , Candida Höfer , cuyo trabajo se centra en el registro de interiores o espacios públicos, tiene mirada poderosa, grandiosa y dominante.
Cuando comencé a pensar en fotógrafas para ir seleccionando los trabajos que interpretaran la vivencia del espacio, las primeras imágenes que me asaltaron fueron las de Concha Pérez . En una entrada de este blog en septiembre de 2009 ya había marcado diferencias en el tratamiento del espacio among the works of Candida Höfer and of this photographer.
The German photographer is a conquest of space, a takeover, complete control of light, while at work Concha Pérez, having created the space, it is transformed into a space of uncertainty . Everything in the former is clear in the second is doubt, question, questioning, reflection.
is why, the image taken as the motto of the exhibition is R eflejos . The silk threads have been weaving the speech are as entangled in the soil of this picture.
The concept of space is a coordinate philosophy to which different meanings have been added along civilizations. Philosophical interpretations ranging from the matter (full, self) and space (emptiness, not to be) or by fusing the two concepts or distancanciandolos.
iconographic representation of space is therefore a position before the world.
Reflections Photography explains this position in the world from a gender perspective, in a subtle and quiet. The light helps to create the architecture, the boundaries of the room and this coincides with the treatment of light in Candida Höfer: But in the end a space is not just a certain light at a specific time.

In the room there is a mirror reflexes and a window lattice is reflected in it. According to dictionary definitions of symbols of Cirlot the mirror is a symbol of imagination and able to reproduce the reflexes of the visible world in its formal reality . Addition Moon has a character, and therefore associated with the feminine. And next to it, represents the multiplicity of the soul, and therefore the access door on the other side.
And access to the other side is another chosen picture Concha Pérez, Alicia .
and what he found across
