Biography
Born in 1936 in Mexico D.F, Mexico. Lives and works in New York
and Mexico. Through her videos, installations and sculptures, Teresa
Serrano restages or deconstructs gender, class, race, and stereotypes.
A Room of Her Own is a video, filmed in black and white, about a
certain state of mind; it is a video about obsession. A room of her
own not just as a physical structure owned or borrowed, but a virtual
Castle, a room inside the woman’s mind, where fears, insecurity,
delirium of persecution, anxiety, anger, etc. have taken over. The
film follows a woman as she experiences a twilight moment in mid-life,
confronting the void and shadows. Scored with cello and electronic
effects.
