Laure Prouvost | IN THE MIST OF IT ALL, ABOVE FRONT TEARS

In IN THE MIST OF IT ALL, ABOVE FRONT TEARS, social engagement and boundless imagination are expressed through video, sculpture, performance, textiles, and text. In her own unique way, Prouvost delivers a hopeful and liberating message on themes such as ecology, the female body, and migration.

Prouvost's artistic universe is full of contrasts: her work is humorous and serious, taking you from the dark and dystopian to the light, and she moves between fiction and reality. Grandma - one of the recurring characters in Prouvost's oeuvre - is depicted with wings in a monumental, towering video installation. This fulfills her dream of flying high above the clouds like a bird and viewing the world from above. Grandma's dreams and visions form the basis of the exhibition, in which Prouvost confronts the visitor with the consequences of climate change and human and bird migration - and invites us to soar above the clouds uninhibitedly and break boundaries.
