Pilar Olivero — Buenos Aires · Paris

Selected works

Practice

Four ways of touching the world

01

Textile Art

The needle as a tool of inscription. Thread as language. Each stitch is a decision, a scar, a mark of presence. Textile work that crosses the boundaries between craft, archive, and political gesture.

02

Alternative Photography

Light as memory. Obsolete processes reactivated to hold what digital cannot: the grain, the accident, the body's impression on the emulsion. Photography as contact, not capture.

03

Performance

The body as the primary site of knowledge. Performance as research — slow, durational, often painful. Acts that refuse documentation even as they demand witnesses.

04

Installation

Space made porous. Installations that activate rooms, corridors, thresholds — turning architecture into a body and the visitor into a participant. Site-specificity as a condition of meaning.

Practice

Work made of layers and time

Pilar Olivero (Buenos Aires, 1988) is an artist and art therapist whose practice moves between textile installation, alternative photography, and durational performance. She lives and works in Paris.

Trained at the Universidad Nacional de las Artes in Buenos Aires and the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, her work is grounded in the intersection of body, memory, and archive.
