As part of the exhibition L'amitié : ce tremble (Friendship: this trembles), taking place at the CRAC Alsace in Altkirch until 12 May, and at the Crédac in Ivry from 28 April to 13 July 2024.
Norwegian artist Marthe Ramm Fortun (born 1978 in Oslo) creates empathetic and meaningful links with her audience through a series of distinct performances and specific sculptural environments.
Based on discoveries made in the archives of the American writer Natalie Clifford Barney, her work TESTAMENT comprises a series of site-specific performances. It was inspired by the literary salon organised by Natalie Clifford Barney in her home at 20 rue Jacob in Paris from 1908 to 1972, and by the Temple de l'Amitié at the same address.
Marthe Ramm Fortun's ambulatory performances often draw attention to the vulnerability of individual bodies, confronting viewers with representations of the female body.
TESTAMENT#3 concludes a series of 3 performances inviting the public to question the emotions that affect the relationship between the artist, the art centre and its environment.
