Laura Colmenares Guerra
Laura Colmenares Guerra is a Colombian artist based in Brussels. His main areas of work are installation, sculpture, graphics/3D printing and cinema.
He has a transversal research-based practice that involves long-term creative processes. During these processes he engages in transdisciplinary collaborations with people from different disciplines to create a solid conceptual and technical basis for each work.
His work explores the deterioration between contemporary Western societies and living ecosystems, the environment and the planet’s inhabitants. This questioning leads her to conceive scenarios that relate to landscape politics and notions of territory. Explores the constructions of the concepts of nature and natural and language as a fundamental means of reality.
In the field of interactive installation, he has developed works that use technology to create an immersive experience for viewers. In these works the viewer is encouraged to use their body to complete the work of art. Laura’s use of technology aims to raise awareness at a deep bodily level, that is, through breathing (lungs [el que respira]); or through interaction with water valves (gaps) to make clear the impact and responsibility that we as individuals and societies have with the environment. In these works, the choice of interactive devices is based on the possibilities of deepening this understanding.
