Museum Overview

Lives and works in Marseille

Medical gynecologist from 1986 to 2022, in parallel with her artistic work.

Co-founder, with photographer Michaël Serfaty, of the Pangolin art space in Marseille.

Edith Laplane’s singular multimedia visual work takes the form of textile objects, installations, photos and embroidery.

« What does it mean to be a woman? » To this as-yet unanswered question, a long quest involving listening to and analyzing women’s issues often triggers anger at gender inequality and its social consequences. Identification and empathy with the taboos and secrets surrounding women’s bodies and life events give substance to this artistic production. Her work is underpinned by an atypical professional activity integrating psychosomatics and thus nourished by medical psychology, psychoanalysis, sociology and the history of women and feminism.

In this multi-faceted work, she uses techniques such as flexible sculpture, embroidery, knitting, drawing, video, collage, papier-mâché, wax and the assembly of diverted objects « to reveal the striking charge of the female sex, principally the vulva, that unpronounceable, inexpressible taboo word that becomes the climax of an original work in the style of an uppercut. Édith Laplane makes no bones about it, bearing witness to the staggeringly unrepresentable image of the female sex. The traditional boat or shuttle, a metaphor for the vulva, has since the dawn of time conveyed secrets said to be inaccessible to the eye. Saying what cannot be seen, making seen what cannot be said, is exactly what Édith Laplane does ….. E.Chambon.

« We take the measure of a disobedience, a singularity… » E.Chambon. Conservateur en chef honoraire.
