Sylvie Fleury (*1961) is a contemporary Swiss artist whose installation, sculpture, and mixed media work deals with our sentimental and aesthetic attachments to consumerist culture. Emerging in the 1990s, Fleury’s early “shopping bag” installations laid the foundations for a body of work that became as provocative as it is playful. Fleury heralded a new artistic trend by subverting the codes of consumption, creating an interplay between fashion and art, while interrogating the relationship between desire and fetishism.

Permanent installation
A Maior, Viseu
Sylvie Fleury presents VROOM VROOM VOODOO, a new storefront installation at A Maior overlooking the parking lot. The large-format prints feature three women, a lone man, a white horse and a sports car. They all meet in a barren place, and a conflict ensues.
