‘Language – in its broadest sense – permeates the video, sound, installation and performance work of Prouvost, yet she doesn’t so much as rebel against it as bend, unpick or re-form text and spoken narratives in any way she can’ (N. Aikens, ‘Focus: Laure Prouvost’, in Frieze, no. 142, October 2011, p. 208).
