Claude Platzer
Claude Platzer is interested in the recursive structures of consciousness and how they flux to frame her every day. Through a disassociated lens, Claude demonstrates how embracing the absurdity of life can illuminate shifting modes of reality. She reflects on the unfixed nature of consciousness when moving between a studio and participatory installation-based practice. It is in-between these two modes of making, that her practice is recursively progressed in an infinite loop (just as consciousness is formed). The use of carpet off-cuts materialises the in-between, as Claude provides shape to parts of existence often overlooked. The carpet structures act as invitations for participants to engage with the space in a more intimate way. Each carpet aims to facilitate movement within the gallery space, and drawings upon the carpet backing help to encourage viewer engagement.
