Joachim Perez
(b.1995) Switzerland
Bio
Joachim Perez is a French-Swiss artist whose practice explores the inscriptions of power and gender through textile-based installation. His work takes the language of fabric as a lens through which to question how bodies and histories are shaped. His practice is informed by a sustained engagement with craft traditions and embodied forms of knowledge. Trained in industrial design at Parsons School of Design in New York, Perez’s trajectory reflects a deliberate shift away from production and efficiency toward practices grounded in gesture and duration.
His work has been exhibited internationally, with shows in Germany, Japan, Switzerland, France, Romania, and the United States..
