    London-based artist Roberto Sánchez-Camus was born in New York City in 1976 to parents who had emigrated from Chile. Returning to Chile from 1986-1991 he witnessed the transition from dictatorship to democracy, a process which has kept him engaging notions of society and politics in his artwork.

    Roberto’s early work devising interactive installations evolved into a time-based media with the incorporation of video and subsequently the human form. From these performance-installations emerged his role of artist as performer, often in endurance solo pieces. His practice can be understood in four layers that mutually compliment and inform each other: collaborative productions, solo performances, visual art and education work.

    Roberto earned a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts in 1999 from the School of Visual Arts, New York and in 2006 was awarded a Master’s in Scenography from Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design. He is currently on the eve of completing a PhD in Performing Arts at Brunel University defining Applied Live Art.

    Most large scale performances have been developed through his collaboration as Artistic Director of Lotos Collective

  

Founding Collaborations:


Co-founded Lotos Collective in 2006, current live art company producing events in the UK and abroad.


Co-founded Blank Collective in 2002, developing work in response to the  political climate in NYC following 911


Co-founded the Secret Community Garden Council in 2000, transforming an abandoned lot in NYC into a performing greenspace.


Artistic Associate of Coalition of Creative Artists launch in 1999, developing site-specific events in New York
