A monograph covering more than thirty years of creative work, MONO ICONO GRAPHIE traces the unique career of Delphine Coindet, an artist at the crossroads of sculpture, image, and text, offering for the first time an unprecedented overview, both critical and visual, of a major body of work.
Since the 1990s, Delphine Coindet (born 1969 in Albertville, France, lives and works in Lausanne, Switzerland) has been developing her own unique sculptural language through constructions made from a variety of materials and techniques that reveal a real predilection for assembly. The heterogeneity of her world opens up to an encounter with techniques ranging from cabinetmaking to metallurgy to the arts in all their forms—architecture, design, and the performing arts. In this spirit, one could say that her work attempts to follow in the chaotic wake of the aesthetic (and revolutionary) avant-garde movements of the 20th century... among other ever-fertile sources of inspiration. Her work is regularly featured in numerous solo exhibitions in France and internationally.
