Artist Dossier


Caro Campobello’s artwork speaks of non-identity, which is at a point related to the body. In many we can appreciate figures, bodies without face or covered faces and flexible and malleable bodies. This reflects the idea of the body as a simply 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. Caro Campobello plays with postures that go against gravity, we find people facing down, who seem to float in space. Bodies locked in suits, or that seem to suffocate, the proposal of a parallel reality.

She thinks each person has its own parallel reality, an oneiric place that coexists in each mind, and tries to make hers tangible, down to earth and share it with the universe.

For Caro Campobello 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 what’s inside.
