Alejandra Vacuii (1987) is a Spanish visual artist based in A Coruña (Spain). She is graduated in Artistic Photography and has completed her MA in Photographic Creation at Escuela Lens where she was awarded with a scholarship in 2021.
She has participated in multiple exhibitions in Europe since 2009 (Istanbul, Berlin, Madrid). Her work has been reviewed in numerous digital media (Fisheye Magazine, Phroom Platform, C41 Magazine, Sola Journal). She has been selected to participate in photo festivals such as Getxophoto, Descubrimientos PHotoESPAÑA, SCAN Tarragona or Imaginària. She has publish her work in different collective publications and recently her project La Mala Fortuna was published by UFCA Collective (2023) as a printed work in the fanzine Fotofobia.
She finds in photography a vehicle of expression where she can play with the limits between the concrete and the symbolic, resulting in dense, mysterious and poetic images where the line between the real and the imaginary are blurred. Her interest in funeral rites and folklore has led her to investigate these topics in various projects, where she also explores abstract sensations and emotions such as loss, melancholy, nostalgia or anxiety.
