CAROLINA MONTEJO: 2/15/18 - 6/30/18
Carolina Montejo is a Colombian visual artist living and working in San Diego, California.
Montejo’s recent project, Mission Ceres, is a multidisciplinary work that has evolved during the past four years and has transitioned from still imagery to poetry, installation, object, and video.
The story behind Mission Ceres proposes a scenario that intermittently travels between fiction and reality, addressing scientific, philosophic and aesthetic views of landscape, humanity, and technology, thus glancing at our planet’s state of survival, as well as the history and destiny of mankind.
Carolina has been a practicing artist for over 10 years, working primarily in the photographic medium and basing her conceptual approach on symbolism, language, and consciousness, as well as their relation to digital culture and traditional storytelling. She received a bachelor's degree in Communications from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá and is currently a candidate for a Master in Fine Arts at the University of California San Diego.
Her work has been exhibited in Colombia, Argentina, Finland, France, Indonesia and the United States. A complete list of past and upcoming exhibitions and lectures can be found at: www.carolinamontejo.com
