Carmela De Falco

Carmela De Falco’s creative approach examines the delicate intersections of language, space, and memory to investigate how borders—both visible and invisible—shape human connection and perception. Her work often involves participatory and relational elements, engaging communities in collective acts that highlight movement and connection across divides. These interventions create fragile, shared experiences that reimagine borders as spaces shaped by human presence and interaction. De Falco transforms everyday objects and elemental sounds into poetic, layered devices that challenge traditional ideas of value and meaning.
