Tacita Dean - Geography biography - GB

Mainly recognized for her films with a contemplative atmosphere, often shot in sequence, the work of Tacita Dean is a true praise of slowness. Moving away from commentated films since the 1990s, she has since favored discreet soundtracks which further intensify the minimalism of her narrations. Her work has been the subject of retrospectives at the Australian Center for Contemporary Art (Melbourne), Dia: Beacon (New York) and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York). The artist inscribes her atmospheric poetics in the curves of the architecture of the Bourse de Commerce. She will notably present a new work, Geography Biography, of which this artist's book presents an archive. She invents a concave pavilion which fits into the concrete rotunda, an immaterial, almost lunar territory which brings together light and reflections.
