Tatiana Trouvé

Meer over het boek

The artist Tatiana Trouvé works with staged rooms, architectonic interventions and snake-like metal sculptural objects, which seem to be in motion but at the same time strangely frozen. Her staged rooms often use the parameters of interior and exterior, working with the principle of inversion. Psychic spaces are externalised, becoming concrete, sinister “interior” rooms. Trouvé’s pieces become visualisations of “unconscious” conditions that are continuously affected by uncertainty—while her module-like “mental landscapes” circle around issues such as living space, memory, architecture and the construction of reality. This publication is the first devoted exclusively to Trouvé’s drawn work, which can also been seen in this context: at first they look like classical architectural sketches, yet, on closer inspection, they breakdown time and again in the definition of vanishing lines and their interior architecture often remains ambiguous.
