In the photographic series “Origami Extinction”, the artist depicts through shapes, shadows and textures, a number of origami equivalent to the remainder of existing individuals of a given species to enable the spectator to apprehend in a visual, instantaneous manner the danger of their imminent extinction. Instead of shock value, poetry and beauty have been considered a more efficient tool for reaching a lasting effect on onlookers and spur interest. The artistic objective is to confer an intellectual reality to these beings, so as to raise empathy, understanding and stir viewers into action. Whilst the hues are representative of the animals' true shades and environment, the blank spaces draw their influence from Japanese traditional "nihonga" art, in which artists used to leave a part of the canvas empty for the onlooker to be able to project his thoughts and contemplate his soul. All photographs are editions of six.

Biography
Vethan Sautour is a French conceptual artist based in Vienna, Austria. Upon completion of her Bachelors in Law and Art History at La Sorbonne, as well as a Master’s Degree in the Art Market and International Business, she took on a position at the United Nations. There, the causes she worked for lent her the ideas that would shape and give birth to her art series focusing on animal extinction and climate change. To do so, she uses a variety of mediums, such as photography and sculpture. The year 2018 marked her first exhibition in Florence, which since then has been followed by a constant flow of opportunities to showcase her works, including among other hotspots Venice, Paris, London, Berlin, Dubai, Zürich, Florence and South Korea. In 2020, she won the Kalos Art Prize.
