Salomé Chatriot
Salomé Chatriot (1995) is based between Geneva and Paris. Since 2019, Chatriot has been deploying her breath through Fragile Ecosystem, a series of procedural performances hosted in different contexts with which she interacts through a medical machine capturing her breath in real time: a spirometer.
This original respiration shapes the contours of an expanding landscape where paintings, sculptures, installations and videos blend, reflecting volumes painted on aluminum and crystallized milk extracted from artificial bodies. Within this fertile matrix, the artist and her machines are suspended in equilibrium. They merge harmoniously to form a hybrid entity governed by elastic tensions.
In 2021, Salomé Chatriot was selected by Cécilia Alemani for the Biennale College Arte workshop at the 59th Venice Biennale. She directed her first film, ‘Our Symbiosis Infected her Fertile Systems’ produced by Unfinished Camp, based on a proposal by Hans-Ulrich Obrist and András Szantó. The film has been shown at the Shed Museum in New York and at the HEK in Basel.
Salomé Chatriot has performed among others venues at Lafayette Anticipations and the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, in Gstaad with the Luma Foundation, at the Teatros del Canal in Madrid, and at The Bass Museum in Miami. In 2024, a selection of her films, videos, paintings and sculptures were shown at Germany’s Marta Herford Museum as part of an exhibition exploring the intersecting relationships between art and technology: ‘Between Pixel and Pigment. Hybrid Painting in Postdigital Times.’ Chatriot is currently creating a new set of interactive leather sculptures with Hermes, part of their artist residencies program.
