*ABOUT

MATTEO DE CAMINADA
(he-him, born 2001, Bozen-Bolzano, Italy)
is an interdisciplinary artist and curator working primarily with sculpture and installation. He graduated in architecture; his practice moves between spatial design, curatorial work, and activist engagement. His work articulates a clear artistic and political position, interrogating entrenched social conventions and normative ideological structures while advancing gestures of subversion toward more progressive and equitable futures. He lives and works between Italy, Austria, and Germany.

STATEMENT

“I believe art is inherently political. If it isn’t, it risks becoming mere ornament. I work mainly with sculpture and installation to examine how social norms, ideological structures, and systems of value are produced, enforced, and internalized. My practice takes a clear political and artistic stance: it challenges entrenched social conventions, questions restrictive ideologies, and advocates for a more inclusive and equitable future. It draws from situated experience, including queer subjectivity and affective memory, and addresses the social issues I encounter, creating a form of “activism through art”.”
