Nicole Gravier

The exhibition presents the Mythes & Clichés series (1976-1980) by Arles-born French artist Nicole Gravier, in which she hijacks the codes of the photonovel and popular media to reveal their stereotypes. By cutting, recomposing and replaying images, she humorously reveals the narrative devices that construct, naturalize and fabricate the fiction of the feminine. Oscillating between a conceptual approach, a Pop spirit tinged with humor and autobiographical fiction, Nicole Gravier is developing a singular body of work in the context of the political and societal mutations affecting Italy and, more generally, Western societies in the 1970s.
