Carsten Höller's collaborative exhibition 'With' at Air de Paris explores doubles and sensory experiences
In 2013, Carsten Höller presented 'With' at Air de Paris, marking his first exhibition in almost six years, which emphasized collaborative efforts that somewhat obscure his individual artistic expression. The show included contributions from various collaborators: taxidermist Yves Gaumétou, model-maker Rigobert Nimi, perfumer Ben Gorham, photographer Attilio Maranzano, artist Philippe Parreno, and architect François Roche. A notable piece, 'So Alone' (2012) by Davide Monteleone, portrays Höller surrounded by 30 pairs of twins. Other works include 'Memory' (2012) with 30 reversible frames of amusement park imagery, 'The Memory Game' (2012) featuring double-sided cards, 'Insensatus Vol. 1 Fig. 1' (2013) showcasing scented toothpastes, and 'Hypothèse de Grue' (2013), which displays a fog-emitting dragon-shaped structure with neurostimulants. The review was published in ArtReview in September 2013.
