Camilla Carper is a fashion designer with a horrible business model. They will be graduating Yale School of Art with an MFA in Sculpture this May, and hold a BFA in Fashion Design from Parsons School of Design. They have an interdisciplinary practice containing sculpture, installation, film, performance, writing, fashion, and clothing.
They are committed to always being in a state of change, continually deteriorating, and building upon themselves. They utilize objects at hand to trace routines, accumulate information, and create records of experience. Carper is often living in a dressing project, where a strict set of rules dictates how to wear clothing, consequently influencing how they socially interact. It's often difficult to distinguish the boundaries between their life and work.
When Carper occupies space to display their practice, they hope to establish networks, share, and distribute material: a lending library, a conversation, a fashion show. A moment to pause, just long enough, to feel the patterns circulating in material culture, their family history, love life, and body.
