Profile
Participant

Ludovica Carbotta lives and works in Barcelona (ES). Her practice focuses on the physical exploration of the urban space and how individuals establish connections with the environment they inhabit. In recent works, by combining installations, texts, and performances, she is researching on fictional site-specificity, a form of site-oriented practice that considers imaginary places or embodies real places with fictional contexts, recovering the role of imagination as a value to construct our knowledge. Carbotta has completed an MFA at Goldsmiths University in London (2015).

Her work was presented at the 58th International Art Exhibition, May You Live in Interesting Times, Venice Biennale (2019), curated by Ralph Rugoff.
