‘winters while waiting’ is a visual project combining research with experimental creative practice. Debuting as an installation at the FUGA gallery in Barcelona in September 2024, this evolving work integrates techniques such as photomontage, assemblage, sculptural structures, and text. It uses found photographs as transitional objects, small boxes donated, and other paper materials.
The project addresses the issue of online gender abuse through testimonies, data on the different types of abuse, and the impact on victims. Additionally, it questions the inadequate responses from legal authorities and internet companies that allow this type of abuse.
Nieves Mingueza is a visual artist, researcher, and educator. Her artistic practice combines documentary photography, archival material, collage, text, and installation. By reconciling a conceptual, personal, and social space, she repurposes and activates visual archives to explore themes of gender, mental health, and memory.
She holds an MA in Documentary Photography and is completing a PhD at the University of the Arts London. Her work has been exhibited internationally at Les Rencontres de la Photographie Arles (FR), Peckham 24, Royal Academy of Arts, Saatchi Gallery, Tate Modern, Tate Britain (UK), Fondazione Giorgio Cini (IT), and at PhotoEspaña (ES), among others.
In 2019, she published her first monographic book with IIKKI books. Her projects have been reviewed by prestigious publications such as the British Journal of Photography, Fisheye, Babelia El Pais, Der Greif, Lenscratch, Blind, L'oeil de la Photographie, Metal, All About Photo, Analog, Yogurt, Witty, and Lensculture, among others.
