Paz Lacroze
Bio
Paz Lacroze, trained as an architect, draws on the collective visual imagery of art history and representations of religious symbolism to create a new visual narrative that reinterprets, through a contemporary lens, this tradition of representing the sacred.
Through her work, Lacroze also explores the materiality of photography and the processes involved in the construction of the image. Her interest in techniques such as cyanotype and other experimental photographic processes incorporates the traces and transformations inherent to these procedures as part of the work, establishing a dialogue between image, matter, and representation.
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.
