FROM APRIL 23, the Museum of Hunting and Nature in Paris, France presents the first major exhibition in France by the artist Tamara Kostianovsky.
Upcycling as an expression of the world.
With subtlety and force, Tamara Kostianovsky explores complex themes such as memory, violence, colonization, the evanescence of life, the connections between the human body and nature. Her work as a sculptor is expressed in installations that use unusual materials, including used clothing and discarded textiles, to explore ideas related to the fragility of existence and the relationship between flesh and our environment. She designs true trompe l’oeil pieces of striking but deceptive beauty, where the work oscillates between fascination and repulsion.
By exploring deep and universal themes through an innovative use of ordinary materials, Tamara Kostianovsky has earned a singular place in the world of contemporary art, captivating spectators with her works full of meaning and emotion. For her first personal exhibition in a French museum, nearly thirty works were carefully selected and integrated into the exhibition room. exhibition and permanent tour, highlighting all the diversity of her work.
Between tree stumps, exotic birds and textile carcasses…The exhibition room is carte blanche offered to the artist. She invites the visitor on a walk in the forest, where the trees and stumps that have taken root there are made of recycled, metamorphosed clothing. For this exceptional installation, Tamara Kostianovsky has created an unprecedented monumental work.
