About

Marie Caye is a visual artist, performer and designer from Auvergne based in Rotterdam and a part of the former duo Arvid&Marie. She is fascinated by the notion of hybridity as a way to hold opposing forces, dualities or incompatibilities. This exploration often happens on the stage set by decay and disappearance.

In one aspect of her practice, rooted in her home mountains, she reinterprets fading local iconography in drawings, installations and performances opening up the tension between conservative extractive logics and yearning for difference, change and communion.

Another facet of her practice connects to her current surroundings. She explores the idea of technology as a strange autonomous synthetic realm, scouring the land collecting videos where humans disappear or cyborg found-material sculptures where the synthetic and the organic are undistinguishable.

By holding these tensions, her work brings the question of what lies in between, in the ambiguity: the grey zones, the obsolescence and the interstices.

Marie Caye is currently open for new collaborations and for artist residency invitations, get in contact here.
