Georgina Pascual
Bio
Georgina Pascual develops an aesthetic investigation into change, the passage of time, and the cultural construction of beauty. For the past five years, she has worked with flowers, observing and documenting their processes of transformation as a way of exploring the cycles of existence and revealing the intrinsic beauty found in the different stages of a flower’s life and their correlation with human experience.
Through micro and macro photography, as well as natural alterations alongside others introduced by the artist, Pascual explores both the transformation of flowers and that of the photographic image itself. The materiality and variations produced throughout these processes are incorporated into the work, establishing a dialogue between nature, image, and time. When does a flower die?
Statement
Cápsula
The Cápsula project explores the contemporary use of historical systems of photographic production and reproduction, incorporating current tools such as the generation of digital negatives. Rather than simply recovering historical techniques, it seeks to understand and incorporate their material, technical, and temporal specificities into contemporary artistic practice, investigating how they shape the materiality, singularity, and circulation of the image in the present.
Cápsula brings together works produced through historical photographic processes, such as albumen printing and kallitypes. In 2025, ten artists from Studio Vivian Galban specialized in these historical processes in New York, alongside research conducted in historical archives.
Throughout 2026, this research continued and deepened at Studio Vivian Galban in Buenos Aires, together with specialists, expanding the experimentation around these processes and their possibilities within contemporary photographic practice.
