About Cami

LAST COLLECTION

This collection of works explore the influence of leisure, its effects on interpersonal relationships and its contribution to self-knowledge and self-definition of identity. The works presented are a compilation of moments of leisure, inspired by discarded materials such as tickets and pamphlets, transforming them into archaeological artifacts of post-utilitarian value. Through a playful approach, the works invite the active participation of the viewer, promoting personal reflection and reevaluation of their relationship with leisure. The research is based on texts by Brian O'Connor, Bertrand Russell and Alejandro Grimson.
