Inspired by capricci, the imaginary landscapes of Italian paintings, French sculptor Eva Jospin erects a huge funerary monument in the choir of the roman abbey in Montmajour, near Arles. Under the golden light, Jospin creates a spectacular and perilous work of craftsmanship, transforming a purely utilitarian material, corrugated cardboard, into a sculpture that is both monumental and spidery.

Catherine Aventurier

Born in France, in 1974, I studied editing in Paris. I worked for French TV, Cultural programs for France 5 and Arte. I was directing a show every week, in the museum and Art exhibit, presented by Laurence Piquet Un soir au musée during 6 years.
And after, since 2004, I have directed 12 documentaries about Art History painter’s duo. It could be mother and child, a couple or rivals who influenced each other in their art. For exemple: Van Gogh / Gauguin, Frida Kahlo / Diego Rivera, Edward & Jo Hopper or Auguste Renoir / Jean Renoir. While this collection is going on, I’m also involved in contemporary artists. I’ve recently done a short film about Eva Jospin with Amart Films in the Tandem collection. I’m also the director of short videos for the Beaux-arts magazine website.
