The Parle Ment Metal Woman Welcoming You is a character originated from a series of works combining sculpture and video with a specific role— lying on the floor playing a romantic elevator tune, this Metal Woman welcomes and flirts with viewers in the space where she is posed. The characters from this series take the form of wrecked silhouettes made of sticks baring pink muscles and breasts with disproportionate LCD TV screen heads. The screen heads broadcast an endless flow of texts and images, speaking for and animating these bodies.
Laure Prouvost is a multi-disciplinary artist best known for her films and immersive large-scale multi-media installations, in which she plays with words and their meanings in non-linear ways. Using humor as entrapment, Prouvost’s work addresses miscommunication and how ideas become lost in translation. The artist combines existing and imagined personal memories with artistic and literary references in different mediums that dialogue with each other, such as film, sculpture, painting, tapestry, performance, and fragmentary tales. This combination creates sensual environments of unfamiliar worlds that absorb the spectator in a form of escapism.
