Laura Gozlan

Press release

With her new show ‘Now you’re inside me,’ French filmmaker and sculptor Laura Gozlan invites the viewer into the catacombs underneath the Zone Rouge – the red zone, an area in northern France so resplendent with century old corpses, unexploded ordinance and untriggered canisters of mustard gas that little to no life is said to be able to thrive there. And yet, with the video work shown here, also titled Now you’re inside me (2024), down within the storied medieval quarries underneath the early-20th century battlefields along the river Aisne, two players are figured in a high-kitsch moral debate.
