Tania Gheerbrant’s works, which are based on long-term research, primarily take the form of installations, videos and prints. She is particularly interested in the history of psychiatric institutions and the anti-psychiatry movement.
A new work from the Fleurs de l’histoire series deals with the anti-psychiatric patient collectives of the 1970s and attempts to shed light on the systems of oppression in medical and penal institutions. Tania Gheerbrant explores the parallels between the historical persecution of witches during the Inquisition and the modern treatment of psychiatric patients, following the provocative ideas of psychiatrist Thomas Szasz. The exhibition was conceived in collaboration with Frac Bretagne, Rennes; Tania Gheerbrant is the winner of the Frac Bretagne-Art Norac Award 2024.
