Doris
SALCEDO

Colombienne, born in 1958


Born in Bogota, Colombia in 1958, Doris Salcedo’s production focuses mainly on sculptures and installations concerning collective memory and individual violence, both physical and psychological. Similar in sensibility to Joseph Beuys, her work consists of domestic objects such as furniture and clothing that refer to the political instability and armed conflict in her country in which she is immersed.
