Clément Grimm lives and works between Paris and Geneva. Graduated in 2023 with a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts at ECAL (Renens), he joined the Beaux-Arts de Paris to pursue a Master’s degree.
                    He explores his practice through sculpture, installation, and imagery, engaging them in a dialogue with conceptual inquiries related to enigma, definition, truth, and falsehood. He also examines the relationships between writing and fic- tion concerning the object, adopting an approach aimed at associating different elements. Grimm’s goal is to bring forth new possibilities of interpretation by surpassing their singular reality, seeking to create a new context and new reading keys through their juxtaposition.

Furthermore, genuine distortions and enigmas free themsel- ves from any pre-established temporality, defining unexplored horizons capable of coexisting the past, present, and future through the act of artistic expression. The metaphor used by Grimm himself to best describe his research and inquiries is as follows: « When I woke up, I found this note in my pocket ». This event can be translated according to the following logic: one finds a note in their pocket without any idea of its meaning or who could have placed it there. We do not know what hap- pened, what is happening, or what will happen. It is precisely this sense of perpetual mystery that drives Grimm to question a commonly understood form of temporality, as if one were confronted with a story without a beginning or an end.
For Clément, it is about opening doors without having the keys.
