Carolina Campobello was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on July 4, 1993. As a child she was interested in art as a way of expressing herself, experimenting with analogue cameras of her family. She is currently in Mexico City and coming and going between Berlin and New-York City. A KALTBLUT exclusive.
“Several of my photos speak of non-identity, which is at a point related to the body. In many we can appreciate figures, bodies without a face or covered faces and flexible and malleable bodies. This reflects the idea of the body as a simple container, the superficial suit that we see at first instance and can mutate, change, transform and be broken according to what happens inside; An internal expression channel.”
“The concept or internal content is much more important, so the use of postures that go against what the eye normally expects. This is how I manage to break the natural scheme so that the viewer can clearly visualize the concept. I play with postures that go against gravity or we find people facing down, who seem to float in space. Bodies locked in suits, or that seem to suffocate. A quest to break the canyons to achieve something new that is equally beautiful from another perspective. The proposal of a parallel reality. For me, the body is a medium, as is photography, or painting. A means of expression not only in terms of body language but also how we decorate it, dress it and exaggerate for the outside, to communicate. ”
