CAROLINE GAVAZZI ⎜ BIO
Nature plays a dominant role in the work of Caroline Gavazzi. Its balance, its natural cycles, its silence, its scents, and its colours are an endless source of inspiration and energy for the artist photographer. Since her first research, during which she rediscovered the importance of butterfly farms, her art speaks of preservation. Places around the world where the sale of butterflies is an important economic support for local communities, and the butterflies play a role in protecting biodiversity and preserving rainforests. Concern for the environment and the ecosystem is present in Caroline's work through metaphors, poetic quotes, and research techniques.
Overcoming a realistic vision, she tackles different subjects with a symbolic take, often focusing on the act of revealing what is concealed beneath appearance. She ‘designs’ photographic installations that lever on three-dimensional effects and on the visual displacement created by layers of material, thus inducing spectators to critically share the questions that her research produces on being.
Caroline has been exhibiting since 2003.
