Tatiana Bohm’s years of artistic work led her to re-appropriate the
various techniques acquired during her textile design studies. She
operates on and with images of the violence of this world : war,
colonization, torture, destruction, political and religious tyranny.
Embroidered, the map of the world oozes with gushes of blood ; felted,
it represents the global fire to come ; apertured, the oriental carpet
reveals an image of the destruction of Syria.
Her work also develops through a know-how of acting on matter. She
performs repetitive gestures on the chosen media, using manual work
techniques (piercing, rubbing down, burning, soldering, …) The initial
use of the tool shifts towards another medium that bears witness to the
creative action of the artist, thus giving it new meaning (pierced
plastic soldiers, history of art rubbed down, …).
For Tatiana Bohm, each work of art is a field of action, whatever the
medium : sculpture, installation, performance, drawing, video,
photography, …
Put together, these various axes of work give shape to the worldview she
offers us to behold : a History readjusted with meaning and sensitivity,
the use of materials maximising its incarnation.
In her latest installations, which deal with the extraction of resources
and colonial reparation, the artist opens new avenues for research that
integrate the collective gesture, in the form of a performative and
participatory installation. The individual artistic gesture shifts
towards a collective construction of the art work. This direct
involvement leads the visitor to actively ponder over these historical
facts.
