Interdisciplinary: Laure Prouvost

Questions Will Be Asked is a solo exhibition by Turner Prize-winning artist Laure Prouvost (b. 1978, Lille, France), bringing together immersive video and mixed-media works that explore the instability of language, perception and narrative. Combining film, sound, text and sculptural elements, Prouvost creates seductive and disorienting environments in which meaning is constantly shifting.

Language, both spoken and visual, is central to Prouvost’s practice. Through humour, mistranslation, missubtitled dialogue and poetic dissonance, she explores the distance between what is said, what is seen and what is understood. Her installations combine moving images with found objects and constructed environments, creating fragmented narratives in which fiction, memory and reality become intertwined.

Laure Prouvost (b. 1978, Lille, France) is a French artist whose multidisciplinary practice encompasses film, video, installation, performance, sculpture and text. Her work is characterised by fragmented narratives, playful language and immersive environments that explore memory, perception, communication and the relationship between fiction and reality.

Prouvost won the Turner Prize in 2013 and represented France at the 58th Venice Biennale in 2019. Her work has been presented internationally at institutions including Tate Britain and Whitechapel Gallery, London; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Haus der Kunst, Munich; and the New Museum, New York. Recent exhibitions include In the Mist of It All, Above Front Tears at De Pont Museum, Tilburg (2024), Mère We Sea at Centre de la Vieille Charité, Marseille (2025–26), and We Felt A Star Dying at Grand Palais, Paris (2026).
