Laure Prouvost - Hit flash back

Více o knize

This publication offers a comprehensive survey of the artist's oeuvre, mirroring the fast-paced and surprising nature of her work. It features a series of essays, a conversation between the artist and her model Barbara Steveni, and a complete list of her works and exhibitions. Laure Prouvost's art is characterized by wit, poetry, humor, and unexpected twists. Through her installations, videos, and performances, she continually captivates her audience. Questions arise about the authenticity of her narratives, such as whether her grandfather was truly a conceptual artist who became lost while digging a tunnel from Europe to Africa. The essence of Prouvost's creative process and visual style is fully realized in her exhibitions, and this monograph—published in collaboration with Kunstmuseum Luzern and the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt—marks the first in-depth exploration of her work. Achieving a true representation of video art in print is challenging, yet the book succeeds with contributions from important authors who have closely collaborated with Prouvost. Additionally, the artist reflects on her life and work alongside her artistic role model. The complete list of her works and exhibitions is also included. Is Prouvost truly the "holy liar" the media has described? Discover the answer within these pages.
