Participant is a sonic journey set against the backdrop of a blue athletics field in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. A young man performs various actions: he reads a painted newspaper, hops on one foot, looks through an eye drawn on a ping-pong ball and walks around with a bouquet. The athletics field, which serves as both a physical terrain for movement and a platform for public discourse, is gradually transformed into a space for contemplation, inner dialogue and otherness.

Andrés Barón

Graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris (2016), Andrés Barón develops
his artistic practice through film, video and photography. His approach establishes a relationship with the
image transformed by screens and networks, playing with the spaces of representation. His work has
been presented in various venues and exhibitions. Recently, the Fondation Hermès dedicated a solo
exhibition to him at the Cristallerie de Saint-Louis, “Cling Cling Boum” (2022) as well as the Centre d’Art de
la d’Art Chapelle Saint Jacques, where the artist presented his latest films “calcomanías” (2023). With DS
Galerie, Andrés Barón presents a selection of films at the Maison Louis Carré during the first edition of
Salon d’été. His first solo show at the gallery, “Grammars”, will take place in autumn 2023. At the same time, his photographic work is presented by DS Galerie in a solo show at Paris Photo.
