Sophie Nys
Galerie Greta Meert
Brussels | Belgium
Mar 09, 2023 - Jul 01, 2023
Sophie Nys’ work focuses on power structures and the complex sociological and historical narratives that surround them. Informed by extensive research and archival material, her observations and humorous appropriation of everyday objects situate the work within a feminist discourse where context is used as a critical tool. Throughout her work, meaning emerges out of the cracks and semantic discrepancies produced through the most subtle acts of abstraction or through the displacement and incongruous combination of objects. By playing with the historical and cultural associations that these objects carry, she exposes the material and conceptual layers the make up the fabric of our social structure and opens up new spaces for reflection and resistance.
