The show is a set of six pieces, each one made of a large paper folder onto which the artist sew black and white prints from her distorted self-portraits.
Olga Theuriet uses ordinary photo and printing devices, and simple art material.
Her work, based on traditional gestures, develops an ethymological kinship between text and textile.
She searches “how to sew folders not with nothing, but out of nothing.”
