Marta Negre, el presente digital y su correlación pandémica: TWENTY REAL FICTION TIME (2020)
Resumo
The 2020 pandemic meant digital acceleration in many areas as the tedious confinement opened the doors to hundreds of online initiatives launched by individuals, major companies, cultural institutions, political organisations, television stations, music and film industries, social networks and a huge range of people, groups and collectives responsible for the digital immediacy we now feel.
In this respect, cultural initiatives were, if not the most, some of those that acquired the greatest prominence for the population. The artistic sphere, more specifically, did not leave behind the new field of ‘Covid Art’ that was opening up before them: the possibility of reflecting in works of art reflections, re-readings, parodies and even new memes on the situation of Covid-19.
Marta Negre (Alcora, 1981), a Spanish video artist, was one of those creators who discovered during the pandemic and, more specifically, home confinement, a thematic source from which to work. Thus arose one of her audiovisual capsules, TWENTY REAL FICTION TIME (2020). This work aims to be an approach, on the one hand, to some of the artistic initiatives that ended up having the greatest impact at this time and, on the other, an analysis of the aforementioned work by Negre, who we believe was able to assume and recompose in his work a set of new thoughts, theories and ways of perceiving that were appearing in the midst of the health emergency.
