Monica Carrera (1979) describes her language as sentimental conceptualism, which maintains the rigor, seriality and modularity of the conceptual approach but with a narrative or human investigation purpose. For this aim, she often works with photography, creating collages, combining, stitching or cutting photographic prints. Depending on her expressive need, she realizes installations, or transforms her shots into actual environmental installations. Her main interest is to stretch the limits of the photographic image, exploring what it can transmit by going beyond its boundaries and usual uses, also hybridizing with other languages. Although photography is her favorite medium, she expresses herself using other languages \u200b\u200bsuch as installation, sculpture or video. Alongside personal and collective exhibitions, she developed the Case Sparse residency project in Val Camonica (2012-2018) and is one of the founders of Carme, a cultural center active in Brescia since 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
