Paula Bruna
Long term residency
May 2018 - 2020
Paula Bruna, Barcelona, 1978
Paula Bruna’s artistic research stems from the study of the conflict between a society based on economic growth and the limited nature of the medium that sustains it. Taking as a reference concepts of ecology, sustainability and ecological economy, Paula is interested in the games of tensions between society and the environment and the process of collapse in all its phases (from the instability of equilibrium prior to the post -colapso scenario). In her installations she uses everyday elements to represent and investigate these issues in the form of visual poetry. In her latest projects, she investigates the conformation of the anthropocene narrative from a non-human point of view, in a broader ecosystemic conception exercise.
She has a degree in Environmental Sciences and a Master’s Degree in Terrestrial Ecology from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, and a degree in Fine Arts from the Universitat de Barcelona. She has worked in research in ecology and climate change and in environmental policies and sustainability. She is currently a PhD student of the PhD program of Advanced Studies in Artistic Productions of the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Universitat de Barcelona.
