Amaia Molinet develops her artistic practice from an ‘expanded photography’, addressing the relationship between territory and identity, highlighting the symbolic features culturally given to different elements in the natural landscape.
The approach of the residency fits with Amaia’s interests and her way of working, since Amaia usually travels to different places to do fieldwork. One of her main long-term research projects involves the analysis of different identities and ways of understanding Europe.
The digital reflection titled Primorska, created by Amaia Molinet, resonates with and responds to the experiences gained during her one-month residency at Nova Gorica, hosted by BJCEM, ŠKUC Association and GO2025! Nova Gorica-Gorizia, European Capital of Culture, Slovenia. It not only reflects on the residency itself but also extends into the post-production phase, exploring the ongoing processes and transformations that follow the residency experience.
