About Carla Piacenza
Biography
I'm an Argentinian visual artist based in Spain, working across photography, video and installation. I studied Film Production at the National University of Córdoba (Argentina) and later completed the Latin American Master in Contemporary Photography at Centro de la Imagen in Lima (Peru).
My work is driven by questions rather than predetermined answers. I am interested in examining how we relate to nature, to the territories we inhabit, to one another, and to the social and political structures that shape everyday life. Personal experiences and observations often become the starting point for broader investigations into contemporary issues, translating critical reflection into visual form.
The choice of medium always responds to the needs of each project. Photography allows me to observe and describe with precision, while video introduces movement, duration and narrative. Occasionally, I incorporate experimental photographic processes, including photograms and analogue cameras, when they are integral to the ideas being explored.
Many of my works combine both media within multidisciplinary installations, creating spaces where different forms of representation can coexist and expand the dialogue around a shared inquiry.
Rather than producing autonomous images, I develop long-term projects that explore themes such as landscape transformation, migration, identity and the relationship between human activity and the environment. I understand artistic practice as a form of research that encourages careful observation and invites viewers to reconsider familiar realities from new perspectives.
My work has been exhibited internationally, including Cartografías Cruzadas. Diálogos del Arte Latinoamericano at Casa de América (Madrid, 2025), JustMad Art Fair (Madrid, 2025), ArtNit Art Festival (Spain, 2023), Big Screen Plaza (New York, 2022), the Geumgang Nature Art Biennale (South Korea, 2022), Confidence Intervals (Spain, 2023), Publieke Werken (Netherlands, 2021), Transterritorialidades (Peru, 2018), Where I Move (Argentina, 2013) and Festival de la Luz (Argentina, 2012). I have been awarded the Ras de Terra Residency (Spain, 2024) and received the Third Prize at ArtJaén (Spain, 2023). My projects have been featured in International Photography Magazine, Fisheye Magazine and Altiba9 Contemporary Art. I have been represented by Skiascope, Albe Art Gallery and Monat Gallery.
