Caro
Simon
Interdisciplinary Sculpture and Installation
“My interdisciplinary work reevaluates the potentiality of disregarded urban infrastructure to become more-than-material aesthetic entities and critically reassesses the body-infrastructure relationship. "(...) un espace d'en bas, un espace de la boue, c'est un espace qui peut être courant comme l'eau vive, c'est un espace qui peut être fixé, figé comme la pierre ou comme le cristal (...)" / "a space from below, of mud; or again, a space that can be flowing like sparkling water, or space that is fixed, congealed, like stone or crystal." Michel Foucault, "Des espaces aures" ”
Caro Simon (b.1997) is an interdisciplinary artist from Belgium/Luxembourg living and practicing in T’karonto (Toronto). She primarily works in sculpture/installation, poetry, printmaking and analog photography. Drawing from minimalist purposelessness, post-vandalism and abstraction, her work examines the distanced, political modes of interactions between bodies and disregarded urban infrastructure as well as the anti-aesthetic in the context of postindustrial environments.
