Genre: Photobook
Director: Rosa Brugat
Description:
Chacha is a photobook that collects and gives a new form to the photographic dimension of Rosa Brugat’s eponymous artistic project. The publication brings together a selection of images of the actions carried out by the artist, dressed as a maid, in different places in Senegal and the Sahara.
More than a simple documentary record, the photobook builds a visual memory of the project and reflects on the role of women, the power relations and the inequalities present in these contexts. Through photography, the figure of the maid becomes a symbolic presence that questions the space, the gaze and the social structures that surround her.
The book was presented in 2019 at the Llibreria Torcatis in Perpignan, in an event hosted by the curator and art critic Pilar Parcerisas, accompanied by an exhibition of unpublished photographs and a round table on feminisms.
