when air hopes for water,
it becomes scorpion to swim,
fully sunk, air forgets how to breathe,
sometimes dies,
sometimes lives,
it shines,
they drown,
both morph.

DescriptionEncuentro seeks, rather than communicate an objective relate or a story, to propose several readings about the graphic information printed on paper especulating about three “levels” of comunication: Syntactic, Semantic and Pragmatic. The book use as resources: organic forms that are related; different dimensions of language; paper inserts, and a text that suggests poetic and conceptual connec- tions between all the elements of the book.
DescriptionI will accompany the dawn when she is
daughter of the moon and embraces the sun.
I'll be there, watching over you, your intentions and your dreams.
Smile to the journey, the change and the rhythm of the river that pretends to be.

The book / the form
⤷ 12p. 50u. Rosaspina paper and fabriano 240g. Screen Print and Letter press. 2018. (Available)
DescriptionThe Book. The Form reflects on a fragment of the book Relational art of Nicolás Bourriaud where
it is described the birth of form as Epicuro and Lucrecio did it.
The project proposes, as a book, the con- struction of the book itself and its existence as a primary conceptual and material process.
The final result is an artist’s book that takes shape during his own process of making. In a preliminary stage the project included a book binding workshop in which it would be born as a physical object, and it would spread to others by a sharing knowlege experience, but it couldn’t happen as I planned, so the edition of the book exists but I made it by myown.
This project was exhibited at La Caja Galeria in Taller Trez, as a part of the exhibition Trez con Z during Artbo Weekend in Bogotá, Colombia.
This website lives in a temporary garden, a small server hosted and maintained by me for attempt and others.
⤷ I´m Camilo, a visual artist and designer from Bogota currently based in Rotterdam.
My work usually starts with a question that prolongs itself through visual systems and publications: books,websites and more. During the process, questions make, stretch and subvert connections between nature, language, time, cybernetics, poetry, and conversation.
