Tatiana Trouvé

Trouvé's artworks explore the relationship between fiction and reality, the temporal nature of memory, and the dimensionality of space – physically and mentally.

[6] She also finds influence in writers, often incorporating their language into her artworks, some examples include: Fernado Pessoa, Jorge Luis Borges, and Italo Calvino.

The project began when Trouvé reflected on her legitimacy as an artist despite her lack of resources, visibility, and a growing collection of employment rejection letters.

Through the creation of these architectural modules, Trouvé constructed an administrative space to house her creative efforts as well as her clerical attempts to adherence to the red tape of the art world.

These large-scale maquettes take the form of deserted workplaces, recording studios, or unoccupied desks, often viewable from windows or mirrors preventing physical accessibility to the space.

[12] Composed of industrial and domestic objects and lacking a true interior or exterior, the drawings exist within the fringe of reality and time, leaving the viewer to oscillate between grounded renderings and disorienting picture planes.
