Carolina Baldomá
Bio
Carolina Baldomá is a visual artist who lives and works in the natural environment of the Argentine Pampas. Her practice explores the relationship between human beings and nature, grounded in the concepts of coexistence and synchronicity. It moves across photography, video, and process-based image-making, developed through site-specific and performative approaches where visual production emerges through direct interaction with the natural environment.
Her artistic research unfolds in two complementary lines. The first explores the landscape through 19th-century photographic techniques, including cyanotype, anthotype, and chlorophyll prints, alongside video and other experimental image-based processes. In this context, nature operates as an active agent within the work. The landscape is not only represented but reconstructed through co-creation with the natural surroundings, where time, matter, and territory converge.
This research is informed by her MA thesis in Contemporary Art Curatorial Studies, focused on 19th-century British women photographers and their engagement with botanical sciences. Their work, situated at the intersection of science, art, and nature, sought to document, name, and classify the natural world. Building on this legacy, her work reinterprets the foundational relationship between photography and nature from a contemporary perspective, shifting the taxonomic paradigm toward an ethics of care.
The second line addresses the relationship between female life cycles and natural cycles through liminal experiences and processes of transformation of young women deeply connected to the land, in dialogue with the imaginaries of Latin American magical realism.
She is currently pursuing an Master’s degree in Contemporary Photography at LENS School of Visual Arts (Madrid, Spain), supported by a scholarship.
Her work has been exhibited in institutions and venues across Argentina, including Centro Cultural Rojas, Fundación ICBC, Fundación Cazadores, Alliance Française de Buenos Aires, and MUBAL Museum of Fine Arts. Internationally, she presented a solo exhibition at the Residence of the Argentine Ambassador in London (United Kingdom). Other exhibitions include The Griffin Museum of Photography (Massachusetts, USA), Soho Photo Gallery (New York, USA), PhotoPlace Gallery (Vermont, USA), Amanda Smith Gallery (Texas, USA), The Photographer’s Eye Collective (California, USA), and Museo Arte al Límite (Panquehue, Chile). She was selected for the Pangue Video Art Festival (New York, USA), presented at the New York Latin American Art Triennial (NYLAAT). She has participated in international art fairs such as Photo London (London, UK) and Pinta BAphoto (Buenos Aires, Argentina).
In 2026, she was selected for the 167th International Photography Exhibition of the Royal Photographic Society (United Kingdom), an annual touring exhibition presented at Saatchi Gallery (London), Taunton Museum (Somerset), and the Royal Geographical Society (London). She was also a finalist for the LensCulture Art Photography Awards (USA) and shortlisted for the Athens Photo Festival (Athens, Greece). In the same year, she received Third Prize and a Jury Mention in the Water competition at the New York Center for Photographic Art (New York, USA), and a Third Mention at the Pangue Video Festival by Building Bridges Foundation (Los Angeles, USA).
In 2025, she received a Special Jury Mention at the 112th National Visual Arts Salon at Palais de Glace (Buenos Aires, Argentina) and was a finalist for the Fresh Photo Award at Klompching Gallery (New York, USA).
She has also received distinctions from LensCulture (USA), Lenscratch (USA), and Femgrafía (Mexico), among other international recognitions.
Deeply rooted in sensitive observation and immersive engagement with the landscape, her practice reflects on the relationship between human beings and nature, understanding the creative act as a process of co-creation with the natural environment.
