Sans titre

Date: 2008
Medium: Mixed
Materials: Leather, Wood
Collection: Lafayette anticipations - Fonds de dotation Famille Moulin

The spaces that take shape in the drawings of Tatiana Trouvé create confusion between interior and exterior dimensions, embedding themselves in uncertain perspectives and juxtaposing scales and worlds. They are spaces outside of place and time, devoid of presence but filled with absence. Likewise, the artist’s installations and sculptures make up a world of abstract forms, functional objects strangely recognisable, and fragmented architectural structures. This ambivalence is not lacking here. Suspended from a horizontal bar, swathes of soft, black leather with window-like openings overlap each other. Skins folded over on either side hang down in a carbon cascade which buckets placed underneath cannot collect, while the cuts reveal different planes through the sections of leather.
