Grotesque: They make beautiful things about ugly people follows the wanderings of a life-size, anthropomorphic object at the Louvre Museum’s collection of Egyptian antiquities. Marginalized by its misshapen appearance, the object — a distorted, mask-like terracotta figurine from the Roman period — attracts a group of friends hanging around the Museum. The artist empowers this unsung sculptural object to contemplate its own deliberate erasure at the margins of a dominant canon, questioning and satirizing the grotesque as a representation of that which is “ugly” in the classical European collection foundational to the Louvre. Reflecting on her personal experience, Oyiri describes feeling “half-triggered” and “half-blown away” when encountering the extensive halls of the Louvre’s collection.
