Carla Chaim

Carla Chaim journeys through this young artist’s trajectory, presenting works in different formats: sketches, sculptures, video installations and video performances exploring the body in its imperfection and inability to become an exact mechanism. In the artist’s work, the body would respond to the desire for freedom from the controlling system of a society imposing more and more rules every day.
