Behind the Uniform: Camilo Restrepo’s ALIAS

We all wear aliases in this system.

Some to survive. Some to subvert. And some to remember who we really are.

Camilo Restrepo’s Alias series doesn’t offer answers — it offers evidence.

Raw and visually persistent by design, each piece confronts the viewer with the quiet brutality of being reduced to a file, a number, a case.

Each work functions as a visual report — tracing the psychological imprint of authority and control.

Identities are reduced to data — categorized, depersonalized, and erased.

As a curator, I believe art must not only reflect — but confront. It should challenge the systems that shape us and the narratives we’re told to live by.

Alias is more than a collection. It’s a mirror held up to the systems we’ve been taught to trust.

These works remind us that remembering who we are means disassembling what we were taught to be.

Alias is now live at GBLSTS.
