In the series Re-invento, which forms part of the MUSAC (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León) collection, Tatiana Parcero includes iconography of ancient religions, images and inscriptions belonging to different civilisations. She uses iconography related to chemical and physical experiments as a way of alluding to human beings' interest in contemplating, discovering, recognising and inventing their surroundings, complemented by pre-Columbian codices and Hindu mudras.
Photographer Tatiana Parcero initially graduated with a degree in psychology, later pursuing a Master of Arts degree at New York University & International Center of Photography, USA. She began working as a photographer in 1985, and since the early 1990s has concentrated on the body and self-portraiture. Her work is closely related to nature and the human body. Through photography she explores these territories in order to relate them to various ideas such as identity, memory, space and time. He won, in 2008, the second prize at the Salón Nacional de Artes Visuales, at the Palais de Glace, Buenos Aires, Argentina. In 2007, he won fourth place in the art awards at the Museum of Latin American Art (MoLAA), Long Beach, California, USA.
