Born in 1985 in Paris, France, Prune Nourry is a multi-disciplinary New York-based artist who draws her inspiration from the issues of human selection. With a degree in wood sculpture from Ecole Boulle in Paris, Nourry explores bioethics through sculpture as well as video, photography, and performance. Nourished by in-depth research in science and sociology, and largely influenced by anthropology, she has created a triptych focusing on gender preference, starting with Holy Daughters in India in 2009. Her latest project, Terracotta Daughters is the last part of the triptych and has done a World Tour starting in Shanghai, heading to Paris, Zurich, New York and Mexico. It is now back in Shanghai and will be buried in China until 2030.
