Summary
Claudia Comte (1983, Grancy, Switzerland) has long since developed from a shooting star of the Swiss art scene into an internationally sought-after artist. Claudia Comte complements the transgression and combination of different techniques and disciplines by juxtaposing materials such as wood and marble, which she works in the traditional manner of sculpture, with industrially produced elements. 00In the Kunstraum Dornbirn, Comte has created an environmental installation that immerses us in an artificial underwater landscape littered with ennoble marble debris. Suspended above an arrangement of 40 intricately rendered marble can sculptures hangs a gigantic text fragment by American marine biologist and conservationist Rachel Carson. Taking the form of wave movements, the text becomes primary material for Comte?s geometrical iconography, which is always grounded in the natural world. In The Sea of Darkness language distorts into slippery image.00Exhibition: Kunstraum Dornbirn, Austria (03.12.2020 - 18.04.2021).
