Whitestone Gallery Seoul is pleased to present Still Moving, the first solo exhibition in Asia by Swiss artist Caroline Denervaud (b.1978). Known for her distinctive fusion of painting, performance, and film, Denervaud brings to Korea a new body of work rooted in rhythm, poetry, and the physicality of gesture.
CAROLINE DENERVAUD: Still Moving

The exhibition is inspired by T.S. Eliot’s poem Burnt Norton, from which Denervaud selected ten evocative phrases—such as “neither flesh nor fleshness”, “a white light still and moving”, and “there is only the dance”. These became titles and emotional starting points for a series of nine movement-based paintings, or what the artist calls “Traces.”
Each work begins with a filmed performance: Denervaud dances across an unstretched canvas laid on the floor, using charcoal or paint to record the body's intuitive motion. These physical acts are captured on Super 8 film and later transformed into paintings layered with casein and powdered pigments. The result is a vibrant interplay of color, form, and movement, a visual rhythm that speaks to presence, memory, and sensation.
Still Moving features ten large-scale paintings alongside original traces, still images, and a video installation of the performance process. Visitors are invited not only to view the finished works, but also to step inside the artist’s creative world, where choreography and abstraction come together as one.
