Sandra Bejarano

Sandra Bejarano (born 1991) lives and works between Madrid and Munich.

Sandra Bejarano’s artistic practice starts from the materiality of the body as a territory for research and unfolds through a critical examination of bodily and aesthetic boundaries. In her performances and installations, she incorporates physical elements of the body such as menstrual blood, nails, or other fluids presented in a sterile and visually appealing way, transforming these substances into precious materials. Her work reflects on the shame and stigma surrounding corporeality, sexuality, and gender in contemporary Western culture, challenging the taboos that determine which bodies and substances can be visible or not.

Through an ambiguous play on perception and double meanings, her works challenge the viewer to question what they are really seeing, prompting a reconsideration of preconceived ideas and moral values. Can the repulsive be transformed into something beautiful?

Her recent works also explore themes related to human reproduction, in vitro fertilisation and the expansion of the possibilities of having children through egg freezing. Through these pieces, she reflects on new forms of motherhood in a capitalist society, questioning how technology and the market influence our most intimate and personal decisions.
