I’m Camila Mejía, born in 1989 in Bogotá, Colombia. In 2022, I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from the Hochschule für Künste in Bremen, Germany, where I currently reside and practice my art. My focus lies in multidisciplinary art, with a primary emphasis on film and light installations. Through my work, I delve into the interplay between analogue and digital realms, constantly seeking out fresh connections and parallels between them.
