These components are influenced and offer mutual contributions, in a reflexive process in search of liberations and exploration of the now. Our role within our culture is ever more questioned and shifting, photographing compulsively day-to-day/ night-to-night, she questions and examines the relationships between youth, the effects of technology, changes within our social dynamics and nature. Born in Porto, Portugal, 1988, Carolina Pimenta graduated from Leeds arts university in visual communications. Lives and works in Lisbon. @lludus | More on THE SWITCH With its Cabinet de L’Art editions, The Switch reiterates with the European conceptualisation of the Cabinets of curiosities, which date back to the 15th century.

Opening reception: Saturday 9th of March 2019, 6pm - 10pm Suck & Blow is modern vibrato of passion. An energetic flash between the present and the future, in depth, the basis of everything that is manifesting to Carolina as an artist. Various discourses in her visual language are diluted: the irascible desire; the provocation; the freedom of the naive; the idolization of the feminine; all of it in a contemporaneously space common to all. A place, however, where only she exists as the sole observer. Suck & Blow brings about the close intimacy of the kiss and the fragile frontier of the private. The works here presented are raw, awkwardly real, sensual, with the allure of fantasy. In her, person or artist lies the same honesty in everything she does. - J Born in Porto, Portugal, 1988, Carolina Pimenta graduated from Leeds arts university in visual communications.
