ARTIST STATEMENT

 

Kasia Capello is a conceptual artist whose practice investigates the tension between personal experience and the structures of political, social, and cultural systems. Born in Poland, shaped by nearly  a decade in Norway, and currently based in Switzerland, she works from the perspective of someone who grew up between the collapsing logic of communism and the emerging narratives of capitalism.

 

Her work examines class, power, and the mechanisms that shape truth, memory, and identity.

​

Capello explores the thin boundaries between fiction and non-fiction, questioning who constructs dominant narratives and who is excluded from them. Her work gives voice to individuals marginalized by class, hierarchy, and systemic control, creating spaces where fragility becomes strength and where the unsaid gains presence

​

Her installations are site-responsive and hybrid in form, engaging language, culture, and media to examine systems of communication and concealed truths.

For Capello, creation functions as a tool of autonomy — an act of reclaiming agency in a world defined by productivity and control.
