The work "Scientia" by Camille Kachani is a book on Scientia – in Latin, knowledge, or in allusion to science, a discipline whose object of study is natural phenomena.
In this edition, exclusive to Carbono, the artist makes reference to the organization of nature through rationality, which, in turn, systematizes information. This duality becomes clear in the contrast between what is primitive and wild (emerging in everyday objects) and the politeness and artificiality of the book, which is pragmatic.
The contrast between man and nature is a central subject in his poetry, reflected positively, as life in inanimate objects, for the artist, symbolically translates into the abstract possibility of growing through knowledge, equivalent to organic growth in nature.
Biography
Camille Kachani
Camille Kachani's work combines photography, collage and sculpture to talk about concepts such as identity and belonging, based on autobiographical references, and how these are formed through the acquisition of culture, that is, how identity is constructed/dissolved, in an eternal movement.
This movement is also based on the media culture of stimuli, mainly visual, which are received exhaustively in everyday life. The bombardment of information begins to impose a kind of selective capture on the individual, giving up contemplation. In the Invisibles series, the artist presents objects that are recurrent in everyday life and are not “processed” by the eyes of the citizen in transit. Used cars, beer crates and traffic cones are given a different covering, such as plush, or a more striking color. The result is an approximation of this forgotten object.
Kachani produces in thematic series and faithfully commits to a production period based on this series. The use of different materials makes it possible to move on to a new series that delights you.
“They are designs designed by a belief freed from autonomy, or from constructivist dogmas. The industrial, the structural and the functional are completely covered by fiction, by the effect.” Marcelo Campos.

Among the main exhibitions are: MAC SP; TRIO International Biennial of the Tridemensional/ Rio de Janeiro (2015); Anna Maria Niemeyer: a path, Paço Imperial/RJ (2013); Reflected Mirror, CC Helio Oiticica, RJ (2012); MAM/RJ (2010); MAC/PR, Paço das Artes/ SP (2008), XIV Biennale Internationale de Nancy, France (2006), MoLAA, USA (2004).
