Danish artist TROELS CARLSEN explores ,through a wide range of media (installation, paperworks or paintings), our relation with our historical and biological heritage and sets up his own insightful analogy on human life.

By detourning and appropriating existing visual worlds TROELS CARLSEN challenges the notion of a given and complete truth and at the same time he hints that reality could be hiding somewhere behind the apparent foreground.

His work unfolds in the field of tension between body and mind, past and present, animal and human, logic and feeling, art and science.
