Laure Prouvost - Au fort, les âmes sont

Description

PRE-ORDER

To be released on 15 August 2025

The book was conceived as a visual journey leading from the Old Port of Marseille to Fort Saint-Jean and into the very heart of each work. To recreate this encounter between artist Laure Prouvost and the Mucem, there is a constant dialogue between the exterior, the sea, the stone of the fort, and the interior, the intimacy of the installations that unfold in the air, in the bowels of the earth and under water... Designed in close collaboration with the artist, the book captures this moment through photographic work carried out especially by Raphaël Massart and an evocative form designed by the artist: like a book that also floats in the Mediterranean. To accompany this visual unfolding, a booklet embedded in the heart of the work contains texts by Hélia Paukner, curator of the exhibition, and Mathilde Roman, art historian.
