Lives and works in Paris.
An experimental artist based in Paris, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster has, since
1990, been exploring the different modalities of sensory and cognitive
relationships between bodies and spaces, real or fictitious, up to the point of
Gonzalez-Foerster creates “chambres” and “interiors”, “gardens”, “attractions” en espace’, ‘anticipations’ and ‘apparitions’ seek to invade the sensory domain of containers where the artist incubates a form of subjectivity that does not yet exist.
Through multiple international exhibitions, short films, productions and concerts, Gonzalez-Foerster’s mutant work contributes to the invention of new technologies of consciousness. — Paul B. Preciado
