Snapshots from solo show on May 30th at Afterhours.zone in Paris: "For this solo show, Carl extends their conceptual exploration to the profound themes of grief and love. Their art becomes a conduit for transformation, examining the materiality of death and the translation of time into material objects through candle-clocks. In honour of two recently deceased loved ones, they create a new measurement of time that also serves as "Opferkerzen" (the candles we light for the dead). Carl's work challenges conventional notions of existence and consciousness, inviting viewers to confront the paradoxical nature of life and death. Their immersive installations, featuring time-counting giant candles framed by water-like steel with burnt edges in the shape of mythological creatures and stabbing horns as time markers, promise a journey into the historical complexities of the human psyche and its inevitable collapse."
