Alexandre Caretti
Born in 1996 in Besançon, France
Lives and works in Lyon, France

“[...] By shifting the act of creation into the realm of collective thought, negotiation, compromise, and exchange, Caretti articulates a critical perspective that challenges the artist's sense of isolation from his community, as well as traditional notions of authorship and individual genius. In Caretti’s speculative worlds of multiple characters and narratives, where the boundaries between reality and fiction are blurred, tensions between permanence and transformation come to light, challenging the immutability of forms, beings, systems, and ideas.”*
