Camila de Andrade Bianchi is an interdisciplinary artist with an emphasis on ceramics. She is a researcher, and educator. She recently concluded her MFA at Arizona State University and graduated with a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2022. In 2025, she was awarded the Phoenix Artists to Work Grant from the City of Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture. Her work has been exhibited internationally in the United States, Asia and Europe. In her multimedia practice, Camila works at the intersection of art, ecology, and pedagogy through performance, sculpture, and installation.
de Andrade Bianchi’s practice is driven by a desire to investigate our relationships to the ecosystem, waste, death, and disease. She is particularly interested in the metabolic process of digestion, as a regenerative process and a connective tissue between people and the ecosystem. To find poetry in ordinary processes such as pooping, and to tune into the regenerative potential of our decay, she cultivates catalysts to digestion, such as SCOBY probiotics in kombucha fermentation and composting piles.
Reflecting on such ideas, she explores immersive forms of digestion through works like the sonic performance Chew on It (2023), where participants collectively chew gum and then contribute their saliva (rich with digestive enzymes) to a compost pile. Creates immersive sound installations that emphasize the creative process of composting, drawing parallels to the musical genre of free jazz, such as in Listening, breaking down, and speaking up (2025). As well as in Shitting Room (2025), an immersive installation inspired by ancient Roman communal bathrooms, contemporary DIY composting toilets, and sewage systems, that examines how human-made infrastructures change and adapt the ways we relate to our bodily processes.
