Based in Paris, Carolina Saquel is a visual artist and former lawyer. In 2003 she is selected in Le Fresnoy (France), a two years program that focuses in the crossing fields between contemporary art and cinema. Saquel uses the moving image as medium for altering perceptions of temporality of seemingly unimportant events and natural subjects. Corporal gestures; the History of Painting and its genres; the observation of nature stripped of human presence; cinematographic, literary and documentary references are several points of departure for her work in video and photography. Her work has transited from reflections on painting- the frame as a window to the world- to what could be considered a sculptural use of the moving image. Her work is part of private and public collections and it has been shown in exhibitions and film/video festivals and screenings around the world, Espai 13, Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona; Kadist Art Foundation, Paris; Harbourfront Centre, Toronto, Canadá; Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain de Strasbourg; Grand Palais, Paris; Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton, Paris; Bloomberg Space, Londres; Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart.
