Carolina Baldomá
Bio
Carolina Baldomá is an Argentine visual artist whose practice unfolds through immersive engagement with the landscape of the Argentine Pampas. She explores the relationship between human beings and nature, grounded in the concepts of coexistence and synchronicity. Her work moves across photography, video, and experimental image-based processes, developed through site-specific and performative approaches in direct interaction with the environment.
Her artistic research follows two complementary lines. The first explores the landscape through 19th-century photographic techniques, video, and experimental processes. In this context, nature operates as an active agent within the work. The landscape is not only represented but reconfigured through co-creation with the natural environment, where time, matter, and territory converge.
This inquiry is informed by her master’s thesis in Curatorial Studies, focused on pioneering 19th-century British women photographers and their engagement with botanical sciences. The practices of these pioneers, 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 towards an ethics of care.
The second line addresses the relationship between female life cycles and natural cycles through the liminal experiences of girls deeply connected to the land as they undergo the metamorphosis of adolescence. It reflects on their transformation in synchrony with nature, in dialogue with the imaginaries of Latin American magical realism.
In 2026, her work is part of the Royal Photographic Society’s IPE 167 (United Kingdom), a touring exhibition with venues including Saatchi Gallery (London), The Museum of Somerset (Taunton), and the Royal Geographical Society (London). A solo show was presented at the Residence of the Argentine Ambassador in London.
She has taken part in juried exhibitions at The Griffin Museum of Photography (Massachusetts, USA), Soho Photo Gallery (New York, USA), PhotoPlace Gallery (Vermont, USA), A Smith Gallery (Texas, USA), The Photographer’s Eye Collective (California, USA), and Museo Arte al Límite (Chile).
Her video work is part of the 2026 edition of the Pangue Video Art Festival, an international touring programme that included a presentation in the New York Latin American Art Triennial (NYLAAT).
In Argentina, her work has been exhibited at institutions such as Centro Cultural Rojas, Fundación ICBC, Casa del Bicentenario, Fundación Cazadores, Alliance Française de Buenos Aires, and Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes MUBAL.
In 2026, she was nominated for the Jungle cycle of the Prix Pictet 2027, selected for the Top 50 of Critical Mass, organised by Photolucida (USA), and was a finalist for the LensCulture Art Photography Awards (USA). She was awarded 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, organised by Building Bridges Foundation (Los Angeles, USA). Her work earned an Honorable Mention in the juried exhibition Cyanotype: Process and Possibility at PhotoPlace Gallery (Vermont, 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 participated in the art fairs Photo London (United Kingdom) and Pinta BAphoto (Argentina).
Currently, she is pursuing an MA in Contemporary Photography at LENS School of Visual Arts (Madrid, Spain), supported by a scholarship.
