Statement
CON NOMBRE PROPIO
In the series CON NOMBRE PROPIO, Carolina Gutiérrez creates exotic wigs on white painted and veiled foam heads to stress the powerful thoughts of scientific unknown entrepreneurs, how their contributions went unrecognized or unremarked. Great ideas spring from their feminine abilities and are carried over their heads. Each one shows an invention. Ms. Gutiérrez wants to reflect on the role of women throughout history by paying homage to these forgotten, almost anonymous, exceptional scientists who have impacted the world with their discoveries and deserve to be vindicated for their effort and tenacity despite the adversities of their time. They did not allow societal barriers stop them from pursuing their passion. Despite their courage and how many unprecedented advances have been made, gender equality is yet to be achieved.
In this exhibition, the viewer will not only be encouraged to reflect on the aesthetic value of the photographs but also on the inner message that might not be immediately visible on the surface.
