Anne & Patrick Poirier. Reinterpreting The Past
View through Artsy
Critical of the contemporary era, Anne & Patrick Poirier call upon collective narratives of the past to express metaphorical meanings linked to the contemporary anthropological reality. Their heterogeneous body of work (installations, photographs, works on paper) raises questions mainly on the themes of fragility and transience of anthropological time, outlining a continuum between past and future, between individual memory and collective history, between knowledge of reality and utopia.
