T-E-E-N
a meeting of the third kind
In this new series, Gwenola Barbot’s still-lifes invite us to take a maternal look at the vicissitudes of adolescence.
Using visual metaphors with evocative titles, she underlines the intensity and contradictions of this delicate age. It’s a territory of rupture, a transformation during which landmarks crumble, and the little girl known to her mother wakes up T-E-E-N.
The T-E-E-N imagines herself “Alone on Mars”, finally out of the gravitational field of planet Mother.
From “Tough Love” to “Obvious Offense” to “Love Room”, this series evokes the eruptive adolescence of beloved children. It explores a confrontation, as inescapable as it is feared, that speaks to the many facets of Love.
