Artist of the Collection

Tatiana Trouvé

Born in 1968 in Cosenza, Italie

Tatiana Trouvé’s practice revolves around the notions of memory and the archive. In particular, the artist seeks to save from oblivion the banal elements, administrative documents, and various objects that make up the core of our daily lives. Drawing on literary influences, her protean work, midway between sculpture, architecture, and models, gives form to her personal experience while showing the absurdity of contemporary society and the world of work.

Born in 1968 in Cosenza, Tatiana Trouvé studied in the Netherlands and at the Villa Arson in Nice before initiating her main artistic project: the Bureau d’activités implicites (BAI). She won the Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2007. She lives and works in Paris.
