Benoît Piéron Transforms Medical Experience into Art for Palais de Tokyo Exhibition

Artist Benoît Piéron creates works that transform hospital materials and medical experiences into art. He converts items like hospital sheets into soft textiles and reimagines bedridden constraints as couture structures. Recently, Piéron discovered his intersex identity was concealed at birth, which has inspired a new series of works. These pieces will be featured in an upcoming exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. The exhibition brings attention to intersex issues, a topic rarely addressed in major cultural institutions.
