Chalisée Naamani: Octogone

The exhibition by French-Iranian artist Chalisée Naamani (b. 1995, Paris) presents new and recent sculpture, print and textile-based work. Naamani has referred to her sculpture as ‘image-garments’: These are produced via a process of layering and collaging imagery and text. Drawing from different ornamental traditions within decorative and fine arts, fashion and popular culture she quotes details from fabrics, paintings, personal photographs, images and archival documents sourced from the internet to produce soft sculpture that often takes the form of clothing or accessories. The artist’s first solo exhibition outside of France addresses questions of migration, motherhood, feminism, resistance and concepts of Heimat.

The exhibition is organised in collaboration with Palais de Tokyo, Paris.
