Over the past two decades, Nairy Baghramian has created sculptures, photographic works and drawings that explore the relationships between architecture, everyday objects and the human body. Her work confronts preconceived notions of functionality, decoration, abstraction, domesticity and feminism. This will be the first solo exhibition in a French museum.
