Caroline Schattling Villeval

Caroline Schattling Villeval, a Swiss artist born 1995 in Zurich and based in Geneva, uses installation, sculpture, video, and sound to develop a dreamlike universe populated by plants and animals. Characters in search of a form of personal emancipation and a position in relation to a society whose conditions of integration are defined by notions and logic specific to theories of personal development . The relationships between the characters are erased, virtualized, so that the communities represented are in fact isolated and made solely responsible for their well-being. The notion of contamination recurs in Caroline Schattling Villeva's work, creating artifacts endowed with the power to disseminate and colonize information. The motifs represented form a polymorphous material in constant mutation and imbued with a fallen symbolism.
