Kelly Monico
Amphibiology

Kelly Monico is a visual artist and designer who re-contextualizes aspects of the everyday experience. Her artwork explores notions of identity, objectivity and modes of representation. She often draws on the use of recording, documentation and patterning as a means to investigate and better understand human behaviour.

Kelly did a micro-Residency at ´ace, where she began her pre-production work of taking pictures, selecting images, building graphic scripts and editing to structure her project “Amphibiology”.

Interested in researching and developing an animation that is specific to its location and context, Kelly took pictures to generate and create abstract geographical landscapes that represent the city. Fascinated by the architecture and the urban landscape of Buenos Aires, she juxtaposed these with the landscapes of Denver and the Rocky Mountains in Colorado—and through this research she hopes to point out the cultural differences and similarities between the two places.
