Since always, the research of Eva Jospin (Paris, 1975) draws inspiration from nature in all its semantic and visual articulations. Through the use of materials such as cardboard, plant elements and fibers, metal parts, fabric, the artist gives life to plastic compositions, even of large volume and with a strong scenographic impact. Works with a fairy-tale tone, at times mysterious, almost magical, that evoke or recreate a world that is at the center of her interests: landscapes, trees, plants, branches, leaves, geological formations, pieces of vegetation, architectural structures that lead to reflection on various themes such as creativity, the operative and intellectual processes through which it is expressed, today as in the past.

The project at the Fortuny Museum in Venice represents this once again: the works, imagined for the occasion, dialogue not only with the historical and environmental context that welcomes them, Palazzo Pesaro degli Orfei, but above all with the identity of the collections it houses, namely the artistic production of Mariano Fortuny.

A dialogue that brings out unexpected aesthetic and operative affinities between the poetics of the two interpreters: a continuous comparison and reference between Jospin and Fortuny on nature, on creative and experimental processes, which find their maximum expression both in the ideation and research on fabric, and in the study of artifice and scenic fiction, always inherent in the theatrical universe, constantly reflecting on the themes of perspective, proportions and on the visual and emotional relationship between artistic creation and spectator.

The large installation in the portego of the Fortuny Museum is an artificial forest that, once traversed, gives the sensation of losing all sense of time and space, of finding oneself in an indefinite and disorienting "elsewhere."
