Muriel Bordier

PROPOSAL REVIEW M BORDIER

Xin Art Galerie presents a focused selection of works by French artist Muriel Bordier, whose practice examines the individual’s place within collective systems and social conventions. Muriel Bordier conceives and stages each scene herself, directing the people who appear in her photographs and placing them within carefully constructed environments where order, repetition and apparent normality gradually give way to ambiguity and absurdity.

Moving between leisure, borders, religion and public space, she uses humour, scale and subtle disruption to question the structures that organise contemporary life. Her work combines photography, mise-en-scène and digital composition, creating images that oscillate between reality and fiction.
