Join artist Tania Franco Klein for a special virtual tour of her studio in Mexico City.
Franco Klein’s innovative installations and evocative photographs cinematically replay the underlying anxieties of the digital age. The artist is a chronicler of contemporary life, often using her own self as a surrogate. In her self-portraits, the artist poses herself as various characters overwrought by emotional disconnection, media overconsumption, and the anxieties of an uncertain future.
In her colourful and cinematic tableaux, she comments on the over-saturation and unfulfilled promises of the American Dream. Since receiving the Photo London Artproof Schliemann Award as the best emerging artist during 2018 Photo London Fair, Franco Klein has continued to garner international attention. In 2019, her first solo exhibition in the U.S. at ROSEGALLERY, Proceed to the Route, was met with much critical acclaim.
