About
Solange Baqués was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She
has a Degree in Political Science and Foreign Affairs. She
studied Photography with Ángela Copello, Adriana Lestido
and contemporary art with Fabiana Barreda and Lorena
Ferández. Participated in Proyecto Imaginario 1 & 2.
Solange explores identities through memories and family
albums. She builds small altars and plays constantly with
the idea of emptiness, life and death, remembrance and
forgetfulness and invites the viewer to complete her pictures.
During “Art in Origin” ,residence in Santander - Spain with
Andrea Juan, Solange started to link these same ideas
with the environment, her last work “Quietness” shows our
emptiness and reflections.
Selected to be part of Yumi Goto’s workshop in Buenos Aires
2019, “The Photobook as an Object” , gave form to her book
“Memoria Imaginaria”.
Through the Window
This project born silently as the Corona Virus spread madly
around the world. As people were suggested to stay at home,
Argentina was one of the first country to close all borders.
I could not return home as of April 15th. 2020. Thanks to
the continous support of Ida, Franziska and Teemu in this
complicated worldwide situation. I can assure that this was
by far one of the best experiences I ever had, KIITOS.
