Tania Franco Klein, born in 1990 in Mexico City, photographs isolation, psychological destabilization and other disorders most people don’t want to talk about. Instead of sweeping such negative emotions under the rug, Franco Klein prefers to show them in all their colorful glory, preferably in large format prints on the wall of a gallery. As a Canson® Infinity Ambassador, she talks about experimentation with lighting, her favorite Canson® Infinity papers and how they facilitate turning her vision into a physical embodiment of her art. |
Tania Franco Klein’s autobiographical photography explores this burnout culture by taking topics of disconnection in everyday life, both within ourselves and others. She also investigates the different scenarios or social practices that lead to the emotions created by this disconnection. She creates tableaux, which consists of constructing sets, altering existing locations and staging scenes. As a starting point, these scenes are created by using the psychological states of what her characters are experiencing. |
Colorful emotions |
“I think the emotions that I depict in my work are usually the ones that are deemed as negative, but nonetheless emotions that we are all familiar with and experience alone. I think that we all drift between the duality of emotions of what we are experiencing and what we transmit to the world. I also try to explore topics that I feel are not usually talked about because I think there is an obsession with positivity and no space to learn to cope with anything that might threaten what that implies. This series has allowed me to openly talk about these ideas with people I know and also with strangers. I have realized how relieving it can be to empathize and hear the stories of others.” |
