Gout d’empreinte was shot during the making of Marie’s La Femme Fontaine (2017), an installation composed of concrete casts of different parts of the artist’s body, which contain plastic tubes that channel and spurt out water.
In this work, Marie confronts herself as she subtly evokes the Pygmalion’s myth by embracing and attempting at the same time to be the artist, the muse and the sculpture all at once: an aching yet empowering symbol of the contemporary female. In Gout d’empreinte, licking the concrete cast of her own foot, the photograph can be read as auto eroticism allowed by the medium of sculpture.
