More about the artwork

Faisal Karadsheh

Faisal Karadsheh is a Jordanian-Palestinian multidisciplinary artist based in Tkaronto/Toronto. His artistic practice explores how and why a body - which consumes space and assumes time - adapts, reproduces and constructs itself. Disparate narratives and tracings of skin, the in-between, collectivity, memory and preservation, converge and arise to go beyond a singular conception of the body. Through a process of collecting material remnants such as consumer waste, food, traces of sounds, he ultimately works towards redefining sociocultural meanings around the intricate relationship within, and between, the body and its environment, seeking to conceive them as one.
More about the artwork

Sabrina Ratté

Sabrina Ratté is a Canadian artist based in Montreal. Using tools, such as 3D scans, analog video synthesizers, and 3D animation, her formal approach serves as the foundation for the creation of ecosystems that manifest across various platforms, from interactive installations to series of videos, digital prints, sculptures, or virtual Reality. Exploring the convergence of technology and biology, the interplay between materiality and virtuality, and the speculative evolution of our environment, her work is influenced by the realms of science fiction, philosophy, and theoretical writings. Ratté portrays worlds devoid of humans, where forgotten remnants continue to evolve and forge new relationships with the ecosystem.
