The editions offered at Château La Coste are related to the installation made by the artist at Bon Marché Rive Gauche in 2021. The installation offers an inspired and striking metaphor for breast cancer, a personal experience that the artist has been through́ in recent years. The work also echoes other themes dear to the artist, including that of procreation. The cloud of arrows approaching the target is not without evoking the millions of spermatozoa heading towards the ovum during fertilisation.

Born in 1985 in Paris, Prune Nourry lives and works between New York and Paris. She graduated from the École Boulle in woodcarving.
The artist is interested in the fields of science and anthropology, and more particularly in bioethical issues related to gender selection and artificial human evolution, through a practice that combines sculpture, installation, performance and video. In recent years, the artist has become known for her long-term projects, such as the one that saw her army of Terracotta Daughters, inspired by the terracotta warriors of Xi'an, travel the world between 2013 and 2015, from Paris to mainland China via Zurich, New York and Mexico City.
Prune Nourry's projects raise ethical questions related to the notion of balance in the broadest sense: the body and healing, demographic imbalance due to sex selection and scientific abuses, the ecosystem and the interdependence between living species. Her practice combines sculpture, installation, performance and video. She collaborates with artisans, works with diverse materials and explores new techniques. The works she produces are mainly large volumes made in situ, which she destroys, buries or stages in documented rituals, through photography and video. Her projects are international and based on meetings with specialists, psychoanalysts, geneticists, anthropologists and researchers.
