CARLOS DAVID

Multimedia artist

Through photography and film, I explore identity and transformation,

collaborating with diverse communities to tell stories that challenge perceptions

and celebrate resilience.

PROJECTS

PERSONAE

Personae invites participants to embody alter egos, using fantasy and imagination to explore identity and uncover hidden facets of the self. The project fosters freedom of expression while offering fresh perspectives on lived experiences and social issues.

PERSONAE II

Personae II explores how imagination and fantasy reveal the resilience of the human spirit. Collaborating with underrepresented groups connected by themes of conflict and trauma, the project fosters dialogue, self-expression, and awareness of critical social issues through evocative, fictionalized imagery.

BE

BE is a multimedia project exploring identity, self-expression, and artistic evolution through photography, video installations, and the documentary Being in New York. The project highlights the resilience and creativity of diverse New York City artists, offering insights into individuality and the transformative power of art.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My artistic practice centers on themes of identity, transformation, and community engagement, using photography and multimedia to create immersive narratives. I aim to explore how individuals transform—whether through fantasy, performance, or activism—to reveal hidden facets of themselves and spark dialogue about societal norms.
