TATIANA TROUVÉ:
"A STAY BETWEEN ENCLOSURE AND SPACE"

Tatiana Trouvé (born 1968 in Cosenza, lives and works in Paris) became known for her room constructions, architectonic interventions, and snake-like metal sculptural objects that are seemingly solidified in movement – as if frozen. In her artworks Tatania Trouvé often explores the association between the "inner" and the "outer" on both material and psychological levels. Psychological spaces are turned outwards and become concrete, uncanny "inner" spaces.

For each of her exhibitions, Trouvé uses the specific architecture of the exhibition site, where she carries out extremely precise interventions that interfere with its "cycle", reconstructing and refiguring it. Thus, the space at the foremost part of the museum becomes an installation composed of various points; a mesh of copper filaments placed directly into the floor and in the walls, leading to a perspex monolith, which is placed in the room vertically. The installative arrangement can read as a "redirection" of energies with set-off from the space. It explores the nature of time by breaking down the artist’s quotidian experience into components and spatializing those components as a set of constantly evolving, differently furnished architectural modules.
Tatiana Trouvé thematises Sigmund Freud's notion of the "unHEIMlich" (often translated into English as 'uncanny' but the German literally means "not like home" or "unfamiliar" thus strange, alien or uncanny and relates, in Freud's famous essay, to his use of the etymology of "unheimlich" and its return in the German language to Heim – home, the familiar) nominated in a space where the "Heim" (home) suddenly becomes a place of unease
