"Back in the 70s, in my room in Buenos Aires, I witnessed abuse that left deep scars and lasting trauma. That room was my safe place, yet hostility lived just beyond the door. Each night, I created escape plans with my Snoopy suitcase.

 

Today, I return to that space to examine the emotional wounds I still carry. From my childhood room, I expand outward, exploring the concept of space, and understanding how my identity shifts within them. Through my books, I investigate the emotional and energetic imprints each space holds, and the different versions of myself that emerge from each one."  Jazmín Sasky

Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Sasky develops a visual language that merges selfies, black-and-white photocopies, illustration, and collage on paper to create limited series of intimate books. Told as screenplays and based on true stories, these books position her both as protagonist and narrator. The settings are deeply personal- her childhood room, kitchen and atelier, or Buenos Aires, Vancouver, Oaxaca, spaces she has inhabited, and that, in turn, inhabit her.

Using her own image as a recurring subject, Jazmín Sasky turns the camera inward to examine memory, trauma, and transformation. Her work invites viewers into moments of introspection, vulnerability, and self-inquiry, offering a window into dilemmas rooted in lived experience. Through these layered visual narratives, she explores the expectations and evolving realities of being a woman in her fifties, the complexities of childhood trauma, identity and belonging, and her ambivalence toward religion.

 

The artist is currently collaborating with photographers in Vancouver and Oaxaca, expanding her visual narratives into performative works that continue to explore place and selfhood.
