Camila Sposati | Symbiotic Drift
Camila Sposati’s practice investigates processes of transformation and energy across geological, chemical, and social systems. Working experimentally with methods that echo scientific inquiry, she juxtaposes material and historical processes to unsettle official timelines and significations. Drawing on Amerindian perspectivism and critiques of anthropocentrism, linear time, and the culture–nature divide, her work proposes the world as a field of multiple subjectivities and interdependent agencies.
Across sculpture, sound, moving image, and performance, Sposati develops instruments and situations that make the invisible perceptible – breath, vibration, mineral growth, entropy. Projects such as Phonosophia and Breath Pieces mobilize earthen, organ-like instruments and sonic propagation to probe interiority and exchange, reversing roles of subject and object and treating matter as an active interlocutor.
Born in São Paulo and based in Vienna, Sposati holds an MFA from Goldsmiths, University of London, and is a fellow in the PhD program at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Recent exhibitions include Breath Pieces (Part II) (ifa-Galerie Berlin, 2024), Breath Pieces (ifa-Galerie Stuttgart, 2023), MAK Vienna (2023), Kunsthalle Wien (2021), Tabakalera, San Sebastián (2020), the 13th Bienal do Mercosul (2022), and the 3rd Bienal da Bahia (2014). She is the author of Stone Theatre (Revolver, 2016).
