Bear, 2022
Multi-channel video / loop / color / 3840 x 2160 px / stereo
Initiated in 2020, before the arrival of Pieter Mulier, Maison Alaïa gives carte blanche to young artists to appropriate historic spaces of the house. The artist Marievic will present her work Bear.
Marievic went searching for a bear, a solitary animal, out of reach, in the American Far North. Bear is a video project that shows us an environment where ice moans, imprisons and then frees. The artist captures visions like many infinite movements of suspended time. She comes back with a series of images, a collection of videos where animals, tools and clothes coexist in an uncertain world.

About the artist
Marievic
Born in Paris, France
Lives and works in New York, NY, USA.
Marievic is a visual artist currently living and working in New York City. She graduated from École Spéciale d’Architecture and received an MFA from Parsons The New School for Design. Marievic’s work varies widely in its medium; upon projects, her studio produces sculpture, photography, video and installations. She considers the fetishized cultures of consumption and gives a careful look to changing conceptions of luxury and disposability. She often employs a decidedly absurdist sense of humor and always aims to explore how the self is performed in different contexts, at the same time individually, globally, and politically.
