Susana Cámara

Susana Cámara Leret (Madrid, 1982) is an artist and researcher who analyses in her works the idea of territory and its transformation, from the interconnection of forms and contents revealed by its attentive observation. She takes as a starting point those elements and signs that allude to the plasticity of its memory. Through long-term projects, both solo and collective, the work seeks to assimilate an ecology of images that integrate living materials, organisms and systems. Currently, her work and research is concerned with the politics of food, agriculture and its imaginary.

She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University Complutense of Madrid and has completed a master’s in design (IM) at Design Academy Eindhoven. She has directed research and educational processes in the field of the arts. Her work has been exhibited in different centers such as Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, The New Institute Rotterdam, Bureau Europa Maastricht, Lab987 MUSAC_Museum of Contemporary Art of Castille and León, Centro Centro Madrid or City Art Center Edinburgh, amongst others. She develops her work across Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom and currently resides in León.
