Corina Acosta
Bio
Corina Acosta has developed an artistic practice centered on the different stages through which an idea takes material form, regardless of the technique employed. Her work seeks to recover the attributes that emerge during the process and incorporate them into the artwork, expanding upon these findings through the exploration of new aesthetic possibilities.
Her training in Visual Arts at the Universidad Nacional de las Artes and her engagement with printmaking marked the beginning of an investigation into indirect production processes, shifting her attention from the resulting forms to the processes that make them possible. Through different techniques and materials, she explores these processes as spaces for discovery, moving away from manifest forms.
Statement
Cápsula
The Cápsula project explores the contemporary use of historical systems of photographic production and reproduction, incorporating current tools such as the generation of digital negatives. Rather than simply recovering historical techniques, it seeks to understand and incorporate their material, technical, and temporal specificities into contemporary artistic practice, investigating how they shape the materiality, singularity, and circulation of the image in the present.
Cápsula brings together works produced through historical photographic processes, such as albumen printing and kallitypes. In 2025, ten artists from Studio Vivian Galban specialized in these historical processes in New York, alongside research conducted in historical archives.
Throughout 2026, this research continued and deepened at Studio Vivian Galban in Buenos Aires, together with specialists, expanding the experimentation around these processes and their possibilities within contemporary photographic practice.
