Ingrid Berthon-Moine's artistic practice, spanning sculpture, drawing, and video, explores the physical and cultural dimensions of the human body. Drawing inspiration from diverse sources such as language, psychoanalysis, and feminism, Berthon-Moine weaves personal narratives into her work, challenging conventional understandings of human experiences like sexuality, illness, and death.
Rooted in the experience of inhabiting a female body, Berthon-Moine disrupts idealized femininity, proposing a new language for female subjectivity. Combining the strange and the familiar, her sculptures defy conventional gender binaries with anthropomorphic forms, immersing viewers in a realm of ambiguity and disquieting sexuality.
Her visceral drawings and sculptures also capture the rhythm of life in constant flux, exploring the evolving nature of human identity. By breaking down barriers between self and others, male and female, Berthon-Moine invites us to embrace ambiguity and the blurring of boundaries. In a moment where the modern Western vision of the human being is being challenged, Berthon Moine’s works explore the representation of bodies and their metamorphoses. Her hybrid, manifold subjects signal new subjectivities, hierarchies and anatomies.
