Carey Young’s work across video, photography, text, performance and installation explores relations between the body, language, rhetoric, and systems of power. Early in her practice she was inspired by business and economics, using the tools, language and rituals appropriated from multinational corporations as starting points for her installations, performances, text works and videos. Since 2002 Young has created conceptual and lens-based works which address and critique law and justice in the light of artistic foci such as the body, site, materiality, portraiture or the sublime. A further strand in her practice relates to women, addressed in relation to regimes of power such as law or the camera’s gaze.
