Carolina Montejo

In a surreal tone, my work emphasizes questions and scenarios based on memory, the subconscious, dreams, and illusion. As a parallel manifestation, there are other elements that direct my quest: the size of objects and space, the continuation of concluded occurrences, the juxtaposition of thoughts and sensations throughout different stages of life.

My photography responds to my interest on how the brain experiences, stores and reproduces information through mental processes of intangible imagery. It is so that my art feeds off of the uniqueness that lies within the human psyche and its capacity to create a view of the world through its own interpretation of space, reality, movement, language, change, imagination, and the aleatory.

Additionally, I focus on color as a defining element in the aesthetic assembly of each photographic construction. This responds to the need of having to create a new space based on two very different experiences -the real world and the subconscious world. The interpretation of light in both scenarios and finding a color palette that is both neutral and accurate for each situation is of great importance in my work.
