With Between Earths, Ana Carolina Sargenti presents a series of drawings, paintings and sculptural elements centred on the processes used to identify people who disappeared during the last Argentine dictatorship. Drawing from official archives and photographs, the exhibition explores the relationships between memory, territory, disappearance and reconstruction.
The works exist between appearance and erasure. Charcoal portraits, created through the removal of material from a black surface, reveal fragmented faces, while landscapes shaped from engraved layers of earth uncover reliefs, cavities and buried forms.
Earth occupies a central place within the project. At once material, archive and imprint, it becomes both a surface of inscription and a support for memory. The cavities formed within this material give rise to watercolour impressions and plaster forms evoking bone fragments suspended in space.
Between Earths creates a space for reflection on the traces left by bodies, landscapes and collective histories, in a state of transition between presence and absence, memory and erasure.

Born in Mendoza, Argentina, in 1981 and based in Switzerland since childhood, Ana Carolina Sargenti develops a practice at the intersection of visual arts, scientific research and memory. Trained in both biology and visual arts, she works across drawing, painting, video, photography and sculpture, choosing each medium for its ability to contribute to a sensitive and fragmented form of narration.
Her trajectory, shaped by migration and cultural displacement, informs a reflection on forms of memory — bodily, historical and geographical — as well as on the territories that shape identity despite distance. Her work engages with archives, collective narratives and the traces left by human experiences.
Based in Geneva, where she continues her practice at Usine Kugler, Ana Carolina Sargenti develops an artistic research through drawing, painting, watercolour, modelling, earth-based work and various plastic experimentations. At the intersection of visual arts and research, her approach explores the connections between memory, territory, material and trace. She also teaches visual arts and biology in Geneva public sc
