Carlos (Madrid, 1999) is a performance and interdisciplinary artist who is studying 3nd year in BEAR Fine Arts Program at ArtEZ University of the Arts in Arnhem.
My work is presented primarily through performance, sound poetry, text and installation where I explore mundane overlooked elements, power structures and material conditions, such as labor, class, urban landscape, microeconomy, alienation, cultural hegemony, semiotics and political speech. I use minimal aesthetics what allow me to confront theory and praxis that hold realities historically overshadowed between binary poles or under economical and political interests. My practice departs from autoethnographic research, cultural archaeology, and employs different anti-communicative and non-linear processes including listing, journaling and continuous writing.
