PELOLOGÍA: Registro y Reflejo
Pelología is a photographic series by Mayra Barraza, a Colombian visual artist, who has captured her relationship with hair in the creation of images over the course of her career. The collection of this recurring element in her work has resulted in an extensive archive of images.
It is also a term that does not exist, yet it feels as if it does because it makes sense when you hear it. One could say it means "the study or science of hair" because it represents an in-depth investigation developed through the lens and the camera as tools of exploration.
