Louise Brooks 2, 2016 From The Dis-enchanted series The Dis-enchanted project, "What if reality actually dissolves Before our eyes?" Jean Baudrillard. The artist has always liked divas and femmes-fatales. My grandmothers spoke often of these actresses and admired them openly as if they were real. They created a collective imagination, which inspired the wonderful illusion that the universe they inhabited was real. The problem was, that they never told me the truth about them and I always had a distorted 61 image of these divas. I was forever duped. From my earliest youth, she created a world in which these women existed. She imagined they went through life in fur coats, pearls, and luxury cars. She felt great admiration for the control she believed they had over their lives, in every way. She always related power with beauty. She was drawn to their temperamental, cocky, controversial, mysterious, dramatic, and scandalous natures. For her, these characteristics clearly symbolized the emancipated woman. After She began investigating, She discovered Baudrillard and I realized that, sadly, throughout the history of cinema we have only ever seen the female image of the actional character. Divas and femmes-fatales don’t exist. They’re just an illusion behind a screen. They are the result of a simulation. They have always pretended to be real while playing a role. She found it difficult to distinguish fact from fiction. Their images were so real to her that she was fooled by cinema, advertising, and the female role models imposed by the media. Her only reality was an illusion behind a screen, a loss of reality and illusion, a place where everything is screen and appearance. So what are these divas really like? They aren’t real people; they’re actually artificial, lonely women admired only for their beauty, their fame, and their wealth, not for who they really are, which causes them great unhappiness.

Presentation
Paloma Castello was born in 1988, Bogotá, Colombia.
I use my work to bring life or a different narrative to an object's past. I'm interested in playing with memory and relating it to the present, creating an atmosphere between reality and fiction. My family and social background have a powerful influence on my work. I grew up surrounded with objects and anecdotes inherited from my ancestors that inspire endless surreal stories. My work emerges from these experiences; they are evidence of my “auto-fiction".
"Paloma Castello presents to us a nostalgia-filled body of work. The collection represents the soul of her proposal: inherited objects discovered or found that have become the tip of the iceberg of her past. These are elements she collects, recollects and then classifies following a method that frames her anachronic attitude that proves as evidence of the youth of her art.
She also demonstrates that the experimentations on herself are common in an artist who's just beginning her career. Without a doubt, this resource, valid and true becomes the road that determines the experimental character of the author.
Castelloland works with objects whose uniqueness proves to be fundamental to the piece's narrative in each story because each piece reacts and happens through the word and object interaction. This series is composed by more than 30 small format photographs and the stories that are linked to them that sway between fiction and reality."
