Clément Grimm (*2001, Geneva) lives and works between Paris and Geneva. A 2023 graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts from ECAL (Renens), he is currently pursuing a Master’s at Beaux-Arts de Paris. His artistic practice spans sculpture, installation, and imagery, engaging them in a subtle and complex dialogue with conceptual questions surrounding enigma, truth, falsehood, and perception.

Grimm juxtaposes elements from heterogeneous realms to create new contexts and interpretive frameworks, transcending the singular realities of the objects he manipulates. His works, often made from transformed industrial materials or reinterpreted ready-mades, invite an exploration of the boundaries between the visible and the invisible, the narrative and the sculptural. They play on a tension between familiarity and strangeness, combining immediate access to recognizable forms with a poetic resistance to interpretation.

His interventions—modest yet enigmatic—transform space and materials into fields of exploration. His objects, often born from subtle transformations or minimal gestures, explore the relationships between writing, architecture, and fiction. Grimm seeks to dissociate forms from their origins, allowing his works to float in unpredictable narratives where time, place, and history become blurred.

Clément describes his process as the discovery of a mysterious note in his pocket—an event that encapsulates his approach: opening doors to stories without beginning or end, while keeping interpretation suspended between mystery and possibility. It is in this pursuit of ambiguity and transformation that the uniqueness of his practice resides.His works become mirrors onto which we project our own questions, suspended between absence and poetry. At the heart of his approach, the vertigo of archives is translated into unpredictable narratives, capable of challenging the rigidity of form to give way to possible worlds.
