Leonardo Campo

Leonardo Campo Menco is a Colombian visual artist, a migrant within his own country. His work focuses on what exists in between: in the spaces created between one time and another, between one territory and another, or between one action and another. Originally from Barranquilla, he lives and works in the Moravia neighborhood of Medellín, an informal settlement inhabited by people from all five regions of the country.

Leonardo says: “When migrating, there are things you carry with you, but there are also things you leave behind. That’s why customs related to food and the process of finding or building a home are present in my research, to prevent these ways of doing things from being lost.”

In her explorations, she carries out ethnographic processes through videograms, performative and pictorial gestures, which reveal the body as a place of experience. These works narrate, in a reflexive and contemplative way, landscapes, territories, memories and rituals, focused on the cities of Barranquilla and Medellin (and the municipalities in between), located respectively in the Caribbean and Andean regions.
