my name is karo
This name hs been brought from the Spanish word, 'Carlos'.
Carlos means a nomad and a free man in spanish.
in other words understood as ‘floating one’.
Mostly my works are painting, text, photography, video and sound.
I want to pursue and work in unlimited experimental genres.
My works focus on 'identity' and these days I am specifically working on the theme of 'making non-existing things exist' based on Shklovsky's motive of Defamilarization.
'Making non-existing things exist' can use diverse media for its tools. I can work not only as an artist but also as diverse titles such as scientist, architect or politician. I use the most basic, simple and easy-to-use method. I am working for more refined and systematic 'uselessness.' I want to express the conflict between existence and non-existence. I am working to become a useless artist.
‘먼지, 공기 중에 부유하며 어디에나 있다. 예술도 그와 같다.’라는 모토로 먼지연구소 소장으로 있으며, 장르에 국한되지 않는 작업을 추구하고, 여러 태도들의 시선으로 관찰하기를 시도하고 있다.
더 세밀하고 체계적인 '쓸모없음'을 위해 연구하며
가장 기본적이며 간단하고 누구나 할 수 있는 작업의 방식을 모색 중이다.
