Carmen Dusmet Carrasco (b.1991, Gijón, Spain)
Lives and works in The Hague, Netherlands
Carmen Dusmet Carrasco is a time-based media artist, predominantly working with video, audio, and text. Through auto-theoretical research, she explores how labor shapes individual and collective identities; speculating on the unpredictability of work and what it means to survive in contemporary society. Regarded through the lens of growing up, aging, dreams, aspirations, and hope, the symptoms of existing in uncertainty are recurring points in her research, which she explores through various representations by making use of elements such as fragmentation, repetition, imitation, and self-doubt.
