About
Vittor Camila Vilela Cogorno (b.1999, Lima, Peru)
I am a multidisciplinary artist residing in South East London. My work is a blend of performance, sound, drawing, textiles and sculpture. As they weave and overlap these mediums come together to create ethereal landscapes that reveal the essence of magic and queerness in our daily lives.
I draw as a way to digest experiences, observations, stories, ecology and emotion. In these times, apocalyptic imagery is everywhere, yet there is also a profound curiosity about the origins of life and a yearning to create new realities—worlds that exist above, beyond, and within our own. I am interested in capturing the recurring cycles of nature, the journey of life, destruction and regeneration. Often inspired by mitología andina, social justice, plant studies, poetry and music, I find my work is a way for me to speak and share my ideas of identity and what it means to feel at home in times of uncertainty.
