About this Item

Paperback. First retrospective book of the artist Jot Fau, in the collection LImpatient, a collection that welcomes the first books of artists, which anchor them in the present and the impatience of a future."They are broken, they still work'. The title of this recent work by Jot Fau could in itself sum up her practice. In her work there is a taste for things that remain, for nostalgic states and buried wounds. There is also strength and vulnerability, gentleness and resistance, and a soul that surrounds the bodies." - Coline Davenne, Montrouge Art fairJot Fau explores the theme of identity, in its most shifting form.She gathers memories, snippets, images, thanks to which she composes narratives, clothes, installations of real or fictitious identities intersect, assemble and settle. In this way, the artist reveals the fragility of our constructions, as much as she reassures us thanks to the care she attaches to each element, with a protective softness.Text in English and French.

About this title

Synopsis

Elles sont cassées, elles marchent encore. Le titre de cette œuvre récente de Jot Fau pourrait à lui seul résumer sa pratique tant il y a dans son travail le goût des choses qui restent, des états nostalgiques et des blessures enterrées. Il y aussi de la force et de la vulnérabilité, de la douceur et de la résistance, et une âme qui entoure les corps. » ( Coline Davenne, Salon de Montrouge ) Jot Fau explore le thème de l’identité, dans ce qu’elle a de plus mouvant. Elle rassemble des souvenirs, des bribes, des images, grâce auxquels elle compose des récits, des vêtements, des installations,... Plus la matière s’accumule, plus nombreux des fragments d’identités réelles ou fictives se croisent, s’assemblent, se posent. Par-là, l’artiste témoigne de la fragilité de nos constructions, autant qu’elle nous rassure grâce au soin qu’elle attache à chaque élément, avec une douceur protectrice.
