compulsive behaviour's photostream |
I'm intensely fascinated with human nature, addictions, pleasure seeking and other forms of extreme and obsessive activities. My photography work is a growing experiment. I use old cameras: Argus C3, Coronets, Holgas, Kodak Duaflex, Brownies, Mamiya as well as digital. Although a lot of thought and planning goes behind my projects, the outcome with these cameras always has a surprising element.
In addition to my photography and illustration work, I make masks and dolls.
A lot of my work takes inspiration from the whole world of Lucha Libre wrestling and Mexican iconography amongst other things.

"He descubierto hace muy poquito a compulsive behaviour y, la verdad, me ha sorprendido su obra. En un mundo en el que todo está inventado y en el que todo está por hacer, algunas de las fotos de compulsive behaviour me parecen tremendas, con una garra y una fuerza realmente impresionantes. El procesado me parece extremadamente original y creativo pero, sobre todo, me quito un hipotético somprero por la concepción original de sus fotos.
¿y porqué? Pues porque compulsive behaviour desnuda sus sentimientos, sus percepciones, sus deseos más íntimos... y los plasma de una forma creo que genial en unas fotos extraordinarias que, además, tiene la valentía y generosidad de compartir con todos nosotros. No conozco a compulsive behaviour personalmente; de hecho, nuestro trato no ha pasado de un par o tres de emails, pero sinceramente creo que es una persona admirable, y lo creo por sus obras (ya se sabe: por sus obras los conocereis...).
Izaskun, muchísimas gracias por ser como eres. Te envidio esa valentía y esa sinceridad en el planteamiento de tus fotos, que en cierta manera son esas fotos que yo nunca hice... son esas fotos que, de forma totalmente injusta, las veo un poco "mías" aunque sé prefectamente que no lo son. Gracias por compartir tu intimidad y tu arrolladora fuerza creativa y, por favor, por egoísmo puro, sigue adelante por este impresionante camino.
Un fuerte abrazo, Izaskun.
I have recently discovered compulsive behaviour and, to be honest, I'm very surprised by her work. In a world in which all is already invented and all is still for doing, I consider tremendous some of the pictures of compulsive behaviour, with a really impressive force and personality. I find the developing process extremely original and creative; however, I find especially impressive the original conception of her photos. I take my hat off to you!
Why? Because compulsive behaviour undresses her feelings, her perceptions, her most intimate desires... and she captures them in extraordinary photos following a, I think, brilliant way. And, what's more, she's so brave and generous that she shares them with all of us. I don't know personally compulsive behaviour; in fact, our contact hasn't exceeded a couple or three emails; nevertheless, I sincerely believe that she's an admirable person, and I believe that by her work (you know: by his/her work you will know them...).
Izaskun, thank you so much for being like you are. I envy your bravery and sincerity in the approach of your photos; in some sense, these are the pictures I never shot... they are these photos that, unjustly, I consider a bit "mine", in spit of perfectly knowing they are not my pics. Thank you very much for sharing your privacy and your devastating creative force. Please, by pure selfishness, go on by this impressive way.
Best wishes, Izaskun."31st August, 2009

"Me resulta muy dificil hablar del trabajo de Izaskun, y más aún resumirlo en pocas palabras. El motivo es que cada una de sus imágenes, muñecas, máscaras y fantasías me sugiere tantas sensaciones, tantas emociones y sentimientos que describir todo eso en un corto espacio supone una tarea titánica, por no decir imposible.
Supongo que a fin de cuentas eso es arte en su estado puro, en su concepto más crudo, cualquier creación capaz de “transmitir” algo, bueno o malo a lo más profundo del observador. Y este stream no deja indiferente, salta a la vista. Izaskun es una artista del subsuelo, una superviviente que quiere plasmar su delicioso y rico mundo interior de diferentes maneras, pero todas ellas con un nexo en común, una estética diferente, genial, basada en la vida y en la muerte, en las bajas pasiones y en los más altos sentimientos. Todos y cada uno de ellos reflejados en cada bordado, en cada fotografía, en cada jirón de vida. Porque eso es lo que se respira aquí, pura vida, con toda su crudeza, atractivo y genialidad.
Sólo hay algo más grande que el talento de esta artista, y es su calidad humana.
Pero eso es otra historia."29th June, 2008
