Caroline Gueye

Caroline Gueye is a Senegalese artist.

​

Her work explores how perception is shaped by distance, framing and access. Through spatial installations, she constructs situations in which viewers must orient themselves physically, encountering works that appear, withdraw or remain partially unreachable.

 

Trained in astrophysics and atomic physics, she approaches physical phenomena as working conditions rather than subjects. Light, reflection and material transformation are used to alter scale, orientation and the stability of what is seen.

 

Her practice has included artistic research conducted in microgravity conditions, an artwork sent into orbit, and installations incorporating analogue lunar material.

 

Her work has been presented at KINDL – Center for Contemporary Art (Berlin), FRAC Centre-Val de Loire (Orléans), Musée Théodore Monod (Dakar), Songzhuang International Art Museum (Beijing) and the Dak’Art Biennale, where she received the ECOWAS Prize in 2022.

 

She lives and works between Dakar and Europe.
