Karola Pezarro lives and works in the Netherlands. She trained at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague.
The work of Pezarro is based on a strong sense of wonder about the fragility of life, about the passage of time, about memory and the complexity of human thought. Through her art, she asks questions about what we carry with us, both visible and invisible, how our thoughts fan out, how we relate to the inner and outer world, how we try to exist. She explores these themes through embroidery, sculptures and videos.
With Aris de Bakker, she forms the duo Akunzo. Akunzo's work consists of ephemeral, site-specific projects.
