About The Work

In this large-scale photograph, Maria-Providencia Casanovas documents a space she slept in during her time living with ten other people in a communal house in Harlem, New York. The image, which is from her I Left Through the Door series, of which Providencia Casanovas of the project, “[this] group of photographs documents how the rooming house in which I lived subjected me to both an unrelenting solitary existence as well as an unrelenting communal one, magnifying the effect of each. My Room depicts a space incapable of admitting anyone else.”

About Maria-Providencia Casanovas

Inspired by the most immediate experiences and activities of daily life, Maria-Providencia Casanovas creates images from the relationship she establishes with her living and working spaces to explore issues related to how we build identity with regard to others. Providencia's work addresses the dichotomy of you/me, and the negotiations that we establish between them in order to build our sense of uniqueness. Although her methods and materials may vary from one project to the next they are linked together by subject matter. Each project consists of series of images, some in a range of different media, depending on the space she is examining.

Providencia Casanovas has participated in exhibitions in Barcelona, Madrid, New York, Chicago and Vermont. Awarded residencies include The MacDowell Colony, NH, and Frans Masereel Centrum, Belgium. She has received multiple art grants by the Entitat Autonoma de Difusio Cultural EADC, the Concell Nacional de la Cultura i Les Arts Arts CONCA, pain. In 2013 she was awarded a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Photography.
