Laure Prouvost is a multi-disciplinary artist best known for her films and immersive large-scale multi-media installations, in which she plays with words and their meanings in non-linear ways. Using humor as entrapment, Prouvost’s work addresses miscommunication and how ideas become lost in translation. The artist combines existing and imagined personal memories with artistic and literary references in different mediums that dialogue with each other, such as film, sculpture, painting, tapestry, performance, and fragmentary tales. This combination creates sensual environments of unfamiliar worlds that absorb the spectator in a form of escapism.
