For those of us born to an immigrant parent, or parents, the tension between being American and being "other" create complex identities entangled in multicultural traditions. Hey, Hot Shot! contender Katrina d'Autremont has returned time and again to Argentina, her mother's native land, opening her camera's eye to her family and exploring her relationship to them as well as how they influence who she is. Nationality acts as one variable in this familial exploration, but d'Autremont also considers the idea of "home" and the idealization of a space as factors in her work.

Her images offer an intimate, but controlled look in to her maternal family. Relatives are posed, though rarely in direct eye contact with the camera and the setting is uniformly indoors, creating a feeling of privacy. In the series Si Dios Quiere on her website, recurring subjects in her extended family start to become familiar to the viewer, building a narrative for the family she continues to discover.
