Everything is a sign in Alexandra Duprez’s work. Her enigmatic pieces are wondrous tales – dreamed, crafted, and at times collaged – where fragments of life dissolve into abstraction.

Alexandra Duprez’s work overflows – off the canvas, across book covers she envelops, onto repurposed cardboard, and beyond what we can grasp of her practice.

Her body of work is diverse, yet held together by a secret, almost silent thread. Within a universe unlike any other, she weaves a wondrous world where dogs, horses, and snakes coexist with humans. Deconstructed and in flux – represented through legs, hands, or eyes – these beings emerge as impenetrable points of consciousness.

This first monograph brings together over a hundred works, carefully selected from a prolific body of art. The book opens with a text by Sophie Kaplan, director of La Criée Contemporary Art Center (Rennes), and is punctuated by a conversation between Alexandra Duprez and Cécile Poimbœuf-Koizumi (Chose Commune), accompanied by studio photographs taken in Douarnenez.

160 pages, 20 x 26 cm, coptic bind, hardcover, Chose Commune (Marseille).
