Book Synopsis

Using everything from sheet metal to moss and crushed-up pills, Echard's assemblages reckon with both the natural and artificial materiality of human life

Published with Galerie Chantal Crousel.

French artist Mimosa Echard (born 1986) draws from biological research, experimental cinema and personal experience to create works that intertwine sexuality, perception and artifice. Her assemblages and installations question the ability of language to grasp her objects, paying attention to the invisible (or latent) potential of the materials she employs.
