Deeply onirical, Prune’s (b. 1995, FR) universe is infused with telluric preoccupations approached under an original angle: the legendary one. Her artistic eclectic practice spans a wide range of media, including weaving, sculpture, and installation, composing a narrative charged with symbolic power. Constantly searching for technical processes to produce a strong visual impact, she creates organic and intriguing textures; thus bringing weaving into another dimension where it becomes sculpture.
Beyond the technique, she uses unusual materials in weaving: materials that are usually quite humble and poor, ennobled by the technique. This is how the ruse is articulated — by working with materials that are, at first sight, ordinary, sublimated by the finesse of the technique, and therefore taking on a “magical” character.
Prune weaves narratives connecting past and future and produces visions mixing pop culture and mythologies, from Greek antiquity to science fiction. Considering seduction as a strategy, she draws elements from the masculine field of war to appropriate them, subverting stereotypical symbols of the feminine seduction to transform them into weapons and armors.
