Ana Teresa Fernández is an artist whose practice explores the politics of intersectionality through time-based actions and social gestures, translated into oil and gouache paintings, installations, and videos. Operating formally at the intersection of land art, performance, and history painting, Fernandez mines 21st-century feminism, post-colonial landscapes, and the psychological barriers to empathy. Themes of border, fragility, and osmosis, which she coins as Magical Non-Fiction, are central to her practice. These ideas have significantly shaped some of her projects, such as Borranda La Frontera (2011), in which she painted the border wall between Mexico and the United States, blending it with the sky and making it seem to disappear. This performance and action, which crystallized in the permanent physical intervention and through a video and a painting series, epitomizes Fernández’s desire to address social and political subjects such as immigration rights, women’s empowerment, and border control.
