Ciel, un oiseau ! Violaine Laveaux, Constellation du corbeau
Musée-château, Annecy
Violaine Laveaux’s installation Constellation du corbeau is part of the exhibition Ciel, un oiseau!. Organized by the department of natural history at the Musée-château, it mingles fine arts, Savoy ethnology, archaeology, animated films and contemporary art. These disciplines enrich the way we look at the figure of the bird, giving it by turns a biological naturalistic, artistic. ethnological and humorous perception, and questioning the relations between people and animals. Violaine Laveaux was given carte blanche for a show around the emblematic figure of the crow, thus ushering in a re-reading of the column room, a symbolic place in Annecy castle. The exhibition is punctuated by ink drawings and sculptures made using diverse and ordinary materials (branches, wax, paraffin wax, earth, ink, talc) typical of her praxis, in which there is a mixture of bodies and fragments of human and animal bodies, relic objects, and memory objects exploring the mysterious links which connect art, tales, and life.
