Sara Ramo
Sara Ramo works directly with the elements that define immediate daily life in order to reconfigure them into strange and foreign presences. The alteration of the natural order of things is not a simple formal exercise, for the artist this represents the possibility to create new structures of sensitivity. Ramo participates in a vast heritage from a cultural tradition that has confronted the utilitarian and scientific perspective of the modern world; incorporating notions from mysticism, mythology and magic, the artist questions the relationship between human beings and objects that are only determined by utility. Fracturing this paradigm, new narrative possibilities emerge, involving spatial and temporal consequences.
Ramo participated in the 13th Bienal de La Habana (2019); the 33rd and 29th editions of the Bienal de São Paulo (2018, 2010); 20th Bienal de Arte de la Paiz, Guatemala (2016); the 11th Sharjah Biennial (2013); the 9th and 6th editions of Mercosur Biennial (2013, 2007); and the 53rd Biennale di Venezia (2003).
