collection fonds national d'art contemporain, paris
Born in 1970 in Algiers, she lives and works in Paris.
La Dînette brings together everyday objects in miniature, reducing the domestic environment to pure memories reminiscent of dolls' crockery, an archive of the real, the imaginary and the remembered. Carole Fékété continues her work on the theme of banal objects. Stained and torn tea towels bear the traces of their domestic use. The dishes in La Dînette assert the permanence of memory and the emotional charge contained in the episodes of ordinary life.
