Caia Diepenbrock is a multimedia artist originally from Rhode Island, USA. She has been living and working in Los Angeles, CA since graduating from Bard College in New York with a Bachelor’s degree in Studio Arts in 2015.
During Caia’s time at ´ace, she experimented with the process of Photolithography printmaking. Starting by taking photographs around the city at places like the Recoleta Cemetery and the Museo de Artes Decorativos, she then printed these photos out to create collages and further edited them in Photoshop to be later transferred onto aluminum plates. Working in the print studio, she created a series of dynamic prints that explore this process of translation. By starting with what inspired her aesthetically around the city of Buenos Aires and later rearranging, mixing and contrasting these images together, these pieces culminate into a representation of how we as individuals subjectively experience the world around us. The work juxtaposes classical architecture with modern patterns and the ephemeral energy of the sky – a collection entitled DIOSA CIELO / The Sky is A Goddess. Caia continues to work with these ideas and the plates she created at ‘Ace in her studio in Los Angeles.
ABOUT HER PROJECT
Through creating an immersive experience for the viewer, I explore the psychological process of translating the world through our individual perceptions and emotions. How do we experience this act of translating when navigating the visual world? The project is rooted in using materials that reflect light, create dynamic shadows, and shape-shift from different perspectives. In the same vein as an optical illusion, these pieces trick the eye and play with our expectations of reality. The aim is to echo the serenity of existing in the present moment and using our intuition to navigate the world.
