TATIANA TROUVÉ
THE GREAT ATLAS OF DISORIENTATION

CENTRE POMPIDOU, PARIS, FRANCE
8 JUNE – 22 AUGUST 2022

For this solo presentation at the esteemed Centre Pompidou, Tatiana Trouvé will take over the c. 800 sq m of Gallery 3, employing a variety of materials to recreate its floor. On this reconfigured surface she uses different modes of presentation to deploy a group of drawings – some previously unseen and specially made for the exhibition – enabling us to grasp all the richness of the Pompidou’s architecture. Sculptural and constructed elements complete this fantastical landscape where reality engages in infinite exchanges with its doubles.
