Elena Khurtova: Displace

‘Displace’ explores the process of entering into a dialogue with soil as a living entity. It offers an intimate insight into Elena Khurtova’s artistic research and process during her residency at 3bisF, on the site of Montperrin Psychiatric hospital in Aix-en-Provence, and delves into her personal connection with displaced soils. Extending the sensitive experience of touching red and yellow soils into the materiality of the book, Elena Khurtova and graphic designer Tariq Heijboer experiment with those very soils as pigments for a duo-colour offset printed book.
