DANA CAMPANELLO

In the deep south of Patagonia, Dana Campanello began training her gaze amid the industrial haze of Comodoro Rivadavia, with the analog Minolta camera gifted to her by one of her grandparents. That camera continues to define the edge of her work.
Having moved to Buenos Aires at eighteen, with the self-taught stubbornness of someone who once defied gravity as a high-performance gymnast, Dana transformed visual recording into a form of choreography: images that capture the moment and hold it in the air one second longer. In her analog aesthetic, each of her frames carries the trace of a time that refuses to evaporate.
