Carmen Dusmet Carrasco is a Spanish visual artist and designer based in The Hague. When working with clients, she mainly makes books and websites with special care for typography and storytelling. In her autonomous practice she explores how the body is affected by socio-economic structures that condition its survival. She engages with topics of self-representation, identity, labour, family and intergenerational debt, through collaborations, video, graphic design, sound and text.
In 2018, Carmen graduated from the Royal Academy of Art (The Hague) with a video installation titled Good News. The research investigates the semiotics of funding, questioning how neoliberal art policies promote individuality, while controlling individual behaviour. Between 2018 and 2020 she produced The Swimming Pool a documentary staring her mother where she asked questions such as 'how can younger generations take care of the elderly while safeguarding their own future?'. In October of 2020, Carmen co-initiated Home Cinema, an online temporary video broadcast, screening four days of video works from graduating students of the Sandberg Instituut, 2020. In spite of the pandemic and the limitations of gathering people, Home Cinema responds to the question: what can we see together now that we cannot see each other? She is currently exploring new ways of operating Home Cinema outside the Sandberg Instituut.
Some of the organizations and practitioners she has worked with are Manifesta: The European Nomadic Biennial, Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), Herman Kuijer, Royal Academy of Art (KABK), Sandberg Institute, PUB, Subbacultcha, Viktor Naumovski, Jonathan Heilkema, Diego Grandry.
