My name is Caro and I am an artist from northern Germany. My practice focuses on developing video games, creating sound works, drawing and painting. During the process I like to use my fantasy and imagination to tell abstract stories and create surreal worlds.
Making games allows me to combine drawings, paintings, sound and storytelling. I like to bring analog practices into the digital and thus make interactive art. Trying to find new ways of gameplay and how game worlds are designed is part of my work as well.
I am interested in abstract places which are not reachable or visible for the human being. Thereby I try to make them graspable and explore them through my art. The gap which accrues from the imperceptible inspires me. I try to fill it with new forms inspired by nature, already known worlds and things which are at the edge of being perceivable, a glimpse into something unknown.
I began with the deep sea and asked myself: What might live there? What is it like to be at a place that is physically unreachable for humans? How can I imagine something that I cannot perceive? After some time I went one step further to space – planets, stars, black holes and the outside of the universe and asked myself the same questions. Then I left those big and far away places to return to the very small and near, quantum particles, microorganisms and my own inside – thoughts, feelings, memories and dreams.
