"The Unknown" is a visual essay framed in New York City which invites you to dream. A puzzle of stories, made of thirty picture that the observer must relate to. The artist focus her atention on unknown people and isolate foreign experiences to develop a complete story, whose interpretation wil depend on the feelings and moods of those who gaze at her pictures.
Then, "The Unknown" is conceived as a project of building characters through the perception and imagination. The photographer is used, in this exhibition, as a way of expressing to create a fiction that encourages us to think about the narrow limits of the "truth". The author, Sandra Sasera, is a multidisciplinar artist linked strongly to the dance, the theatre, the scenic and visual arts. She is graduated in Audiovisual Communication, she was trained as a photographer in the Valencian school Espain d'Art Fotogràfic.
