Hélène Agofroy's Multidisciplinary Practice Explored in Artpress
Artpress published an article examining Hélène Agofroy's work across sculpture, painting, installation, video, and photography. Despite diverse media, her practice consistently connects concrete objects and real space with imaginary realms of representation. Christophe Domino analyzes her 1992 series "Jambes" and "Nez," noting a shift from overt cultural and historical references (as in "Sinopia") toward more disparate and discreet referential fields. Domino also discusses her approach to facing the wall, lessons from Italo Calvino, and the suavity of transparency.
