On the occasion of her solo show Praesentia (18.10.2024 – 05.01.2025), the Palais de Tokyo has invited Franco- Gabonese artist Myriam Mihindou to conceive a risograph-printed publication. This book revisits photographs from her performance Rebreathing, during which the artist proposes strategies to regain breath, energy and reconnect with the forces of nature. The performance was realised in collaboration with students from ENSAPC—École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts de Paris-Cergy and took place at the Palais de Tokyo on November 7, 2024. Printed and crafted in 200 copies in the Palais de Tokyo’s publishing workshop, this book is the very first dedicated to a performance by Myriam Mihindou.
4-color Risograph print (teal, fluorescent pink, purple, black) on Munken Print White 115 g paper and laser print on 90 g tracing paper.
Myriam Mihindou is a multidisciplinary artist whose work encompasses sculpture, installation, drawing, writing, photography, video and performance. Her work addresses issues of identity, memory, language, ritual, living- beings, the female condition, spirituality and ecology. Her practice could be described as curative as much as artistic.
