Villa Karma

Shannon Bool

Info: Dialogues between body, architecture and material are central aspects of Shannon Bool‘s work. The combination of high-tech and traditional production processes constructs paradoxical spaces of perception between the digital and analog worlds in her work. The result is a subtle deconstruction of body ideals and identity. Shannon Bool impressively and sovereignly reflects on how current and historical techniques organize the way we see ourselves and the world. »Almost all of my work takes place first digitally«, says Shannon Bool, who then combines the digital with analog mediums such as jacquard textile weaving, painting or ceramics. The exhibition title Villa Karma refers to Adolf Loos‘ building of the same name in Clarens on Lake Geneva. The title playfully refers to the fact that modernity has become part of our DNA through the targeted construction of spaces, whether real or digital that become suspended in specific materialities. Loos strict material translations of rationalist ideals paradoxically open spaces of emotion and intuition within his strict parameters of privacy and representation.
