Summary note
Yael Desbats (Argentina 1984) is several characters: the yuppie artist who takes casual selfies (like Amalia Ulman), the communication strategist (such as Roberto Jacoby), and the artist who buys at the Shopping center El Once (as Fernanda Laguna), and whose sculptures move between conceptualism and popular art (street crafts: things made with plastic, brass, aluminum, etc.). Desbats, as an artist, is an expert in taking sculptures from plastic cups, make-up masks and any other element she can buy in the Once to make queer reinventions with strange, everyday elements. And all this before discovering the real science: cosmetics, as well as knowledge of hair and skin products. The book "Actividad de uso sobre el trabajo" (Use activity about work) is a journey throughout her work: from her timid and humor approaches to advertising communication to the creation of a line of cosmetics.
