Carlos Vergara

Carlos Vergara (*1989 in Barranquilla, Colombia) is an Artist based in Vienna, Austria. Since 2016 he has been studying Fine Arts Photography at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. In his work he positions himself in the periphery of different scenarios, trying to de-velop a language that deals with the self and the other, the here and the there. Through various techniques ranging from photography to collage, sculpture and installation, he questions how we adapt to an ever-changing world in an attempt to materialise empti-ness, absence, and other concepts that allude to identity and melancholy. Using various methods such as covering, hiding, overlaying, deleting and erasing, Vergara attempts to bring these ideas into the space and to the viewer, inviting them in to a moment of interpre-tation. It is precisely this confrontation with the Other that interests him most in the entire artistic process.
