Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster

Born in 1965 in Strasbourg. Lives and works in Paris and Rio de Janeiro.

Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster is a worldwide known artist that works with mixed media, such as photography, video projection and spatial installations. Her artistic practice is concerned with the exploration of time from the past and future, movements, behaviors and identity as well as the constructions of environments with direct references to literature, music and architecture. In her body of work the codes of spatial representation are often projected as a theatrical stage. It is not about the autonomy of art but rather as the experience of it in an intimate, immersive and interactive manner in which viewers have to play an active role.
