A person

Born in Tehran in 1986, Yosra Mojtahedi obtained a master's degree in visual arts then a fine arts diploma when she came in France in 2014. At Fresnoy (National Studio of Contemporary Arts), she explored different fields of art, of science and technology with a look at anthropology. She studies humans and their relationship with nature. In the form of installations, drawings or photographs, organic, sensual and mystical landscapes appear. She also sometimes invites the viewer to create a bodily relationship with her works.

There he bathes a surrealist atmosphere, a space freed from place and time, where objects and elements are symbolic: flowers, stones, umbilical cords, organs.

She questions the border between the living and the non-living through sculptures considered as “human-machine”. What interests him is to divert the organs towards inert forms to create a confrontation between the form of flesh and that of stones, between the real and the non-real.

Coming from a country where the body is a taboo subject and its representation prohibited, his works are sensual and sensory in reaction: tactile, olfactory, sometimes touching on eroticism. She sometimes invites the viewer to create a bodily relationship with her works. He is invited to touch or smell, senses often forgotten in traditional museums and in the history of art.

She sculpts the shadow that comes out of the light. It often appeals to the duality between shadow and light, characteristic of Persian architecture leading from darkness to light, a metaphor for a spiritual trajectory to create a space out of time. She thus questions our own corporeality to question us about the existence of the inert forms that surround us. where is the border between living matter and the non-living?

There floats a strongly assumed feminism, without limits, to deliver a political and direct message. By creating universes where plants, animals, minerals, and also bodies of different kinds hybridize, it dissolves borders and limits, and unifies all the elements of this universe, to say: finally, we are one!

Vitamorphose
2019 - Le Fresnoy Studio national des arts contemporains

Vitamorphose is a sculpture and sound installation that creates a physical relationship with the viewer. It brings together organic and mineral forms, creating an object that is both alive and inert, an abstraction of human and animal bodies, in a universe that is both poetic and ironic.
