Edith Andreu

Heteronyms

Edith Andreu

Catalonia, 1978. Studies at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Barcelona. All of her work is made from recycled childhood toys. The heteronym Edith Andreu is the fusion of two names of people deeply involved in her life journey. A transversal look at the transformative capacity of artistic language, of the hand of games and toys.

«When an artist, expresses through his heteronyms, that is to say, personalities created and thought like others, alludes surely at that true emotion at a true expression of what talks Pessoa when says: feign is to know oneself.
Multiple and varied should be the motifs that motivated at Marga Ximenez, at creating his heteronyms. Parallel transits that permitted her a game that the identity prison does not permit».
(Of the text “Plural like the univers”, of Nora Ancarola.)
