After laying siege to the German pavilion at the 2017 Venice Biennale with her exhibition and performance ‘Faust’, Anne Imhof took hold of the entirety of the Palais de Tokyo to create an all-embracing, polyphonic work: ' Natures Mortes'. Within the bared structure of the Palais de Tokyo, stripped down to its fragile carcass with its topography exposed, Imhof fitted a glass-walled maze that simultaneously fragmented the space and generated new perspectives. Haunted by painting, the fleeting cycle of life and the disruptions of the present moment, she composed therein her memento mori to the here and now. Imhof fused space and bodies, music and painting, and her own works with those of accomplices, especially the artist and musical composer Eliza Douglas, and thirty invited guest artists. The public was encouraged to walk the space between life and nonlife, darkness and light, past and present and to freely trace its path across this vast, open scene.
