The museums are closed, but the galleries remain open and Art has made its way to places where we can still admire the work of artists. The Bon Marché Rive Gauche has given Prune Nourry carte blanche for a monumental installation, Amazone Érogène.
Playing with the volumes of the atrium and the emblematic escalators under the glass roof of the Parisian department store, the artist presents a work composed of a breast, targeted by 888 arrows of wood and feathers on one side, and an arc on the other. An interrogation on femininity in its intimate flesh: the artist has sublimated her personal experience of illness as a means of artistic exploration, perhaps in an attempt to escape the objectification of the body and reintroduce a subjective narrative where protocols can seem to transform the patient into a secondary resident of their own illness?
