American artist Clotilde Jiménez is the latest figure to join the Olympic craze that has hit the art world. His latest exhibition, The Long Run, explores notions of movement, identity, community and competition in the artist’s signature collage aesthetic.

On view at Mariane Ibrahim’s Paris location, Jiménez, who was born in Honolulu and currently based in Mexico City, dismantles the constructs of sport — probing into the collective markers that manifest through each individual athlete — from gender and personal experiences to the communities and nations they represent. By juxtaposing various figures and materials, Jiménez’ collages expand on the togetherness at the heart of sports. He also simultaneously raises the contradiction that many minority athletes face, who are marginalized back home but celebrated on the global stage.

“I am thinking a lot about a group winning, and not just a singular athlete, as many of my figures are constructed with a multitude of faces and gestures that build the image,” Jiménez said in a statement.

The Long Run is on view in Paris until September 28, 2024.
