Karolina Lavergne

Karolina Lavergne is a video and photo artist based in San Pedro, CA. Her work explores the domestic as a sphere that is both a refuge and a trap, and in which desire is inseparable from struggle. She uses gender as a lens through which to think through the hidden, reproductive labor of caring for oneself and others. As a way of working, she sources her life as material, blurring the line between fiction and autobiography. Her work has been shown locally and internationally at Weils Brussels, Azkuna Zentroa, and elsewhere. She holds an MFA from ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, CA.

PARTICIPATION

On-site Event June 4th

All I Want Now – Audio Collage
All I Want Now is an audio/video collage made of combined diegetic sound recorded from actions filmed and placed on loop, alongside of the non-diegetic sound of a voice over. Layered upon each other the sounds simultaneously merge with and combat against each other forming a rhythmic cacophony. The display of the work can happen either on one monitor (as shown in vimeo link) or with each small video/audio piece coming individually from tablets/small screens — the piece has been shown in both ways and each iteration emphasizes different qualities of the work.
