Éva Jospin. Galleria is the catalog published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name from November 16, 2021 to March 20, 2022 at the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature in Paris (FR). It includes a preface by Christine Germain-Donnat, a text by Emanuele Coccia, a conversation between Éva Jospin and Raphaël Abrille, and a presentation of the invited artists Faustine Cornette de Saint-Cyr, Aurore d'Estaing, and Guillaume Krattinger.

Visual artist born in 1975, former student of the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris, Éva Jospin was a resident at the Villa Médicis (2016/2017). She lives and works in Paris.
Known for her virtuoso use of raw cardboard as her material of choice, she recently proposed a 350 m2 embroidered panorama, La Chambre de soie, showing great talent as a colorist (2021). She also works in bronze and concrete, creating sculptures or "skins" for building facades.
Inspired by nature and the architecture of baroque gardens, her works are so many factories and follies summoning dreams and classical tradition. Aediculae, landscapes, vegetation, foliage and ornaments populate his universe.

Faustine Cornette de Saint-Cyr, lives and works in Paris. She is a photographer who got lost in books. Her works summon memory, the written word, a story told or a disappearance. Literature is often the primary material, but in the end, the words withdraw.

Aurore d'Estaing is an illustrator. She is particularly sensitive to the disappearance of species and chooses to paint birds when many species have already disappeared or are seriously threatened. Her portraits have the meticulousness of Renaissance miniaturists. Painted in watercolor on a black background, encircled by small frames of about ten centimeters in diameter, Aurore d'Estaing's birds look at us, fragile, proud, charming, mischievous...

Guillaume Krattinger was born in 1985 in Besançon. He studied applied arts at the Olivier de Serres School and then entered the Beaux-Arts de Paris in Jean-Marc Bustamante's studio where he developed a practice of sculpture and photography. He lives and works in Neuilly-sur-Marne.

Lecturer at EHESS (École des hautes études en sciences sociales) since 2011, he was assistant professor at the University of Freiburg im Breisgau from 2008 to 2011, researcher and visiting professor at the University of Tokyo in 2009, Buenos Aires in 2010, Düsseldorf in 2013 as well as at Columbia University in 2015/2016.
