Patricia Camet (born in 1962 in New York, lives and works in Lima) is a Peruvian artist whose work intertwines humor, archaeology, and social critique. Her ceramics transform the waste of everyday life into objects of contemplation, poised between irony and tenderness.
Holding a Master of Arts from the Rhode Island School of Design, she questions the effects of mass consumption, pollution, and the acceleration of exchange. Her works, packaging, fragments, and reliefs of fossilized waste, become relics of a present already in decay. By sanctifying these familiar remnants, she invites reflection on the hidden beauty of the ordinary and the memory embedded in daily gestures.
Camet describes herself as an archaeologist of the present: she extracts signs of abundance and fragility from the very material of our excesses. Her approach, both pedagogical and poetic, brings together art, ecology, and transmission, forming a practice that is at once playful and profoundly political.
Her international exhibitions, in Lima, New York, Miami, Karlsruhe, Paris, and Madrid, reflect a growing recognition of her distinctive practice, which combines wit and environmental awareness.
