About the Artist

Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster is a highly influential French artist whose multidisciplinary practice encompasses immersive installations, films, and site-specific "chambres" or "appartements." Her conceptually rigorous work delves into themes of memory, literature, personal identity, and the psychological impact of spaces. Gonzalez-Foerster creates meticulously crafted environments that blur the lines between reality and fiction, often evoking specific literary figures, historical moments, or emotional states. Her art invites viewers into a contemplative, sometimes uncanny, experience, where narrative unfolds through atmospheric details and sensory engagement, challenging perceptions of time, space, and the boundaries of reality.
