Tania Mouraud is a key figure of the French art scene and an unclassifiable artist. She has been constantly reinventing her practice since the late 1960s through a variety of media: painting, installation, photography, sound, video, and performance. Her work is part of an approach that questions the aest...hetic relationship between art and the violence of our world, as well as the limits of perception. Since 1998, she has been using photography, video and sound in a close relationship with painting to question different aspects of the living and its history. Tania Mouraud’s “engaged” art is understood as a citizen’s and non-political statement. The fights she defends are those of an artist who lives “with her eyes wide open on the world”.
