Creating sculptural installations, evoking the fragility of existence, this is the visual artist’s artistic journey through the exhibition “The Body of the World” at the Museum of Hunting and Nature in Paris.
After Eva Jospin, Carolyn Smith, Vincent Fournier, Sean Landers, exploring mediums such as cardboard, ceramics, photography, painting, … the Museum of Hunting and Nature in Paris continues its journey; in the spirit of dialogue between man and animals. This time, at the first French exhibition of Tamara Kostianovsky (born in Jerusalem in 1974, who lives and works in the USA).
Submersible diving
Memory, violence, colonization, the connection between the human body and nature are the artist’s favorite themes. She creates sculptural installations with used clothing to express the fragility of existence, the disappearance of everything. Around thirty works, including a monumental new one, offer the visitor an immersion into his world. The track looks like a walk in the forest, where trunks of trees, exotic birds and corpses are made of recycled clothes, or rather recycled clothes, to be honest.

Comment from Tamara. “The series features corpses that transform into vegetation, becoming capsules that host birds and exotic plants. I imagine my creations from the point of view of metamorphosis. The idea is to transform the figure of the corpse, which becomes a site of carnage into a matrix where life takes root, like a utopian environment.” All told, poetry as a bonus.
The body of the worldTamara Kostianovsky, until November 3.
