Patricia Bentancur

Patricia Bentancur (b. 1963, Montevideo, Uruguay) is a visual artist, curator, and researcher with an extensive international trajectory, whose multidisciplinary practice spans photography, video art, installation, and conceptual work. Her artistic focus centers on themes such as memory, the body, violence, language, and territory.

Her triptych, Knives for Alejandra / Cuchillos para Alejandra, in the Point of Contact collection, was created for Point of Contact’s 2010 special edition, Alejandra, on Argentine poet Alejandra Pizarnik. Bentancur proposes four black and white movements that display a dialogue between images and words.
