Petzel is pleased to debut Isabella Ducrot: Profusione (Le Consortium and Les Presses du Réel, 2025), an exhibition catalogue conceived on the occasion of the artist’s 2024 exhibition at Le Consortium, Dijon.

Isabella Ducrot: Profusione offers a comprehensive overview of the unique practice of the Italian artist. The catalogue documents seventy artworks—works on paper, fabric assemblages, and collages—produced between 2016 and 2024 and presented in the Dijon exhibition. Through essays and contributions by Franck Gautherot and Seungduk Kim, Verena Lueken, Tobias Pils, Tschabalala Self, Andrea Viliani, and Miranda Fengyuan Zhang, the publication situates Ducrot’s recent work within a broader reflection on materiality, memory, and duration.

Throughout her long career, Ducrot has developed a singular visual language rooted in her lifelong engagement with fabrics, pattern, and material histories. Born in Naples and long based in Rome, she has drawn inspiration from travels in Turkey, India, Central Asia, and beyond, where she immersed herself in textile traditions as living repositories of memory, devotion, and everyday ritual. In Profusione, this sensibility unfolds with extraordinary grace. Across nearly 200 pages, the artist’s unique practice is translated to the page through reproductions of her work, installation imagery, and photographs from her studio and life.

Isabella Ducrot: Profusione is available at the Petzel Bookstore or online.
