Sophie Bouvier Auslander @ Patrick Heide Contemporary Art

Our planet and how humankind shapes and transforms is the subject of Sophie Bouvier Ausländer’s artistic research. For Fishing the World, as the title indicates, the artist remains true to her exploration of our planet. The exhibition showcases pieces from her latest series entitled Call Me Ishmael, taking its name from the opening sentence of Melville’s iconic novel Moby Dick. Imbued by the novel’s symbolism, biblical as well as fictional, the artist’s new body of work is rich in metaphors that softly slip into our imagination like a weaving.
