Karla Black

Scottish artist Karla Black presents her first solo exhibition at Galerie Mezzanin, exploring the tension between material experience and self-perception. Through sculptural works that engage with mirrors, paint, and physical presence, Black challenges the historical evolution of self-consciousness—from the reflective surfaces of the past to today’s omnipresent digital screens. Drawing on philosophical and historical references, her work seeks to disrupt the “spell” of modern self-awareness, inviting a return to a more tactile, unmediated engagement with the world.
