Maria Fernanda Hubeaut (Argentina) discovered her interests in documentary and artistic photography at the age of 15, and was fascinated by the infinite possibilities of communication and expression of photography. She received a M.A. from the National University of Entre Ríos, Paraná city, Argentina, were she organized and directed workshops of photojournalism for several years. Her work is strongly linked to reality, trying to capture emotions with delicate attention to lights and shadows. Her photographic work has been exhibited in several art galleries, including Rutgers University, Soho Black and White Space, Café Galería Carlitos in Harlem, Times Square, and previously, in Paris France and in Argentinean galleries of Santa Fe, Paraná, Tierra del Fuego and Buenos Aires city. Since 2011 she introduced performance art practice to her work creating individual and collaborative projects.

My recollections come from a childhood reared in the Caribbean, at the edges of standardized Western culture, where daily struggle causes those standards to drift in odd ways. In some ways my idyllic Jamaica no longer exists. An immigrant's memory of their country is both frozen in time and lives a life of its own, and perhaps comes to represent something else entirely. My work aims to pinpoint that fleeting image of a perfect landscape by its raw nature, and wondrous paradox. It is this desire for an ideal landscape that intrigues and invites me to interact with it.
The accumulation of goods, luxurious lifestyles, socio-economic changes, and cultural development carry a political and social intent. The obsession of capital and consumption has informed my process where objects whether functional or not infiltrate a space, questioning its purpose or function. Natural landscapes often set the stage and are combined with media, costuming, and props that are handmade, manufactured, natural and artificial to accessorize the environment.
Most of my work combines performance in the realms of social practice with either ready-made objects or my sculptures or both. Some of these performances address a critical analysis of desire, cultural ideologies, and environmental degradation. Often working with site-specificity, whether in rural to city, suburban to urban I hope to engage the viewer to question respect for societal and cultural norms, and most importantly the state of our natural world.

Pflanz’s work combines public action (dragging meat to Riker’s Island, going through garbage in search of clothes) with conceptual performance (stretching barbed wire through the audience, nailing fruit to a wall) and disturbingly well-planned and executed cinematography.
