Catherine Bodmer

Catherine Bodmer is a visual artist whose practice includes installation, photography and site-specific work. The idea of transformation is at the centre of her work, as well as the observation of the ordinary and banal aspects of existence. In her installations and site-specific works, she is mostly interested in activities related to cleaning the body and the space. Stressing the ambivalent values of cleanliness and purity, she questions their effects on the arrangement of our physical and mental spaces, our ideologies and utopias. For CLARK, she’ll present the photographic results of her residency in Mexico.

Catherine Bodmer wishes to thank the Conseil des arts du Canada, the Programme des studios et ateliers-résidences du Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, the Centre Sagamie and Photosynthèse.

The artist also thanks Richard, Julie, Emma, Benoît, Marci, James, Annie, Anne, Marc, Susana, Pistola, Rafael, Christine, Pirmin et Maria-José for their participation and precious help.
