Each work is a call to explore our relationship with the self and the shifting realities we inhabit...
I believe the mind is a medium where multiple dimensions can exist.As an artist and technologist, this belief forms the foundation of my exploration into existence, reality, and the hidden structures that shape society. I investigate a myriad of themes through a lens that is both critical and phantasmagorical. Through immersive installations and surreal imagery, I examine what it means to survive and exist in an era of constant stimulation, existential questioning, interconnectedness yet isolation, and rapid technological transformation. Using metaphor, I translate personal lived experience and collective reflections into evocative encounters. Each work becomes a call to explore our relationship with the self and the shifting realities we inhabit, drawing viewers into an inner sanctum where the boundary between the real and the imagined dissolves.
Karo Duro's work has circulated around notable spheres both locally and globally including Google Arts and Culture, Fulton County Public Arts, The Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, Carnegie Hall in New York, and the Desiderio Gallery in Vienna.
