Simone Karl

Simone Karl works across installation, sculpture, and objects. Her practice explores the resilience of vulnerable bodies and their capacity to hold contradictory states at once. Protection and threat, desire and defence, control and loss of control emerge as intertwined physical forces, taking shape through highly processed materials, found objects, and extreme repetition. Her often confrontational spatial works position themselves as physical counterparts to the viewer, drawing the body in while keeping it on edge. An encounter that is felt before it is understood.

Recent exhibitions: Kunsthaus Bauers Park, Hamburg (2026), lokal_30, Warsaw (2022), Kunsthaus Erfurt (2025), Goyki3 Art Inkubator, Sopot (2021), Kunsthalle Wilhelmshaven (2025). She lives and works in Hamburg, DE.
