Kiki Smith: Being Here | Now | Everywhere

This book accompanies a major retrospective at Montpellier Contemporain of American artist Kiki Smith, whose practice explores the profound connections between living beings and their environments. Focusing on the body, and the female body in particular, Smith examines its material, sensory, and symbolic dimensions, revealing its relationship to nature, animals, plants, minerals, air, and water. Her work also evokes a cosmic perspective, reminding us that the human body contains stardust, inviting us to imagine beyond the limits of the visible. The book offers an immersive journey through Smith’s poetic universe, celebrating imagination, transformation, and the freedom of artistic creation.
