Portrait of the artist by Pedro Rodrigues
Stefania Carlotti (*1994, Italy) lives and works in Lausanne. She attended the Visual Arts Master at ECAL (Lausanne) and previously studied at BA of Visual Arts at NABA (Milan).
Blending sculpture, video and writing, Stefania Carlotti’s work oscillates between an ironic observation of her physical environment, an amalgam of ordinary activities, references to cinema and pop culture, and a scathing critique of the modest perversions of our time. These different components come together to be remixed, reorganized and exploded in the creation of parallel universes, in a confused, sometimes ironic interplay between reality, fiction and memory associations.
