Caro's work will be on display at the 16th annual Artist Project held at the Better Living Centre, Exhibition Place, from May 8 - 11, 2025. **Caro Simon** (b.1997) is an interdisciplinary artist from Belgium/Luxembourg living and practicing in T’karonto (Toronto). She primarily works in sculpture/installation, poetry, printmaking and analog photography. Drawing from minimalist purposelessness and abstraction, her work examines the distanced modes of interactions between bodies and disregarded urban infrastructure as well as the anti-aesthetic in the context of postindustrial environments.
