About the artist:
Débora Delmar (1986, Mexico City) lives and works in London, where she is completing the Postgraduate Programme at the Royal Academy of Arts. Through her work, Delmar investigates consumer culture, capitalist lifestyles, and aspirational aesthetics. She is particularly focused on the societal effects of globalization such as class issues and cultural hegemony. Delmar creates multi-sensory installations that are usually composed of elements such as fabricated and appropriated objects, reproductions of iPhone photographs, and elements such as scent, sound and performance, as well as online interventions.
