Celeste’s Immersive Textile Installations Embrace the Warm Intimacy of Home — Colossal

Maria Fernanda Camarena and Gabriel Rosas Alemán, the creative minds behind the artistic duo Celeste, have a unique approach to their work that is deeply rooted in care and mindfulness. When they are not in their Mexico City studio, they can be found tending to their garden or preparing delicious meals. These practices of cooking and gardening, filled with care and intention, are elements they hope to incorporate into their art in the future.

Celeste is known for their large-scale textile installations that transform gallery spaces into immersive experiences. Using a warm color palette of pinks, oranges, and reds, their translucent cotton creations allow light to filter through, casting tinted shadows that envelop the space. Viewers are encouraged to interact with the textiles, whether by lounging, dining, or even performing within the installation.

The inspiration behind their earthy color palette stems from natural dyeing materials like avocado pits and turmeric roots. This concept of warmth and solace became particularly significant during the isolation of 2020, symbolizing safe spaces and intimate interiors within their work.

One of their notable projects, “Contra el miedo y la oscuridad, la fiesta colorida y feliz,” was created in collaboration with a 4th-grade class from Mexico City. The students added their own drawings to the cotton panels, turning the installation into a vibrant backdrop for a school festival.

In their latest exhibition at Rebecca Camacho Presents in San Francisco, Celeste explores the connections between water and the impact of Mexico City’s colonial history on its landscape. Their suspended works with arched openings invite visitors to pass through, creating a dynamic and engaging experience.

Next on their agenda is “Casting a Net, Casting a Spell” at The Bentway in Toronto, where they will present a quilted canopy of 100 individual panels designed to catch sunlight and provide relief from the summer heat. This ambitious project marks their largest installation to date.

Celeste aims to create immersive experiences that go beyond mere contemplation, inviting spectators to engage with the ceremonial aspects of their work. They believe that through sensory and emotional connections, a sense of hospitality and acknowledgment can be fostered without limitations.

To experience Celeste’s work firsthand, visit their exhibition Hacer brotar / To sprout in San Francisco before it closes on June 14. For more insights into their practice and upcoming projects, visit their website and follow them on Instagram.
