In her work, Sara Ramo creates a symbolic field mediated by context and intuitive knowledge. With polymorphic characteristics, her works address the coexistence of elements in supposed opposition, incorporating contradiction and diversity as part of vital experience. In her installations, strangeness and the ordinary are summoned to constantly exchange their positions, inviting the public to physically experience unique territories. The notion of collage and reinvention recurs in the artist’s repertoire, in which traces and debris that permeate material life are juxtaposed in a constant dialog between the intimate and the collective. In a movement of delicate and visceral metamorphic reorganization, Sara Ramo’s work expresses the invisible structures that sustain the world, its possible groupings, and the ways in which creative activity can manifest itself.
Ramo participated in the 13th Bienal de La Habana (2019); the 33rd and 29th editions of the Bienal de São Paulo (2018, 2010); 20th Bienal de Arte de la Paiz, Guatemala (2016); the 11th Sharjah Biennial (2013); the 9th and 6th editions of Mercosur Biennial (2013, 2007); and the 53rd Biennale di Venezia (2003).
