About The Master 🏆

Caro Derkx

One of the defining characteristics of Caro’s work is her ability to navigate the thin line between reality and fiction. She is fascinated by the concept of authenticity in the modern world—how we construct identity, how truth is shaped by narratives, and how art can both reveal and manipulate reality. Whether through her solo performances or collaborations, she continuously questions what it means to "be real" in an age where image and perception dominate.
