CAROLINA PAPETTI (ITA) is an interdisciplinary artist working across performance, video, writing and installation, currently based between Amsterdam and Italy.

After graduating from Liceo Classico Arnaldo, she moved to London where she graduated in Dance Studies at Trinity Laban - Conservatory of Music and Dance and later in Amsterdam where she graduated in Choreography at SNDO - School for new Dance development.

She considers her artistic experience a desire to expand the notion of biography. A desire for self-proliferation, transformation or biographical metamorphosis. Or a transgression of everything that she experiences. She started writing at a very young age and then began to expand this practice through dance, theatre, performance, video and sound art. Right from the start, creating meant for her to accept and establish a research- relationship with the notion of ambiguity as the desire to investigate aspects of reality that tend to continually escape and to defy the logic of effective meaning-making, discussing it on a sensory level. Her artistic practice is multimedia and interdisciplinary, in constant research and creation of sounds, words, songs, costumes, images movements and objects, which are understood as a disturbing gaze that explores a mental and social world. Her works revolve around the notions of self-design, deconstruction of language, representation, sexuality and the fascination with the unconscious and its generative potential. In her works the viewer is invited to enter spaces built through a study of sensorial and material architecture, inhabited by characters with designed, split attitudes, who build and destroy a succession of images, scenes, texts, actions and gestures that unravel between the cryptic and the explicit.
