Born in Calabria, Tatiana Toi grew up in Dakar, Senegal. After studying art at the Villa Arson in Nice and the Netherlands, the artist is dedicated in 1997 to a single work, the activities or implied BAI, which initially is an archive intended to keep projects fulfillment. This set continues to grow and change at will by “modules”: Module waiting Module strike, the administrative module, etc..
Gradually the BAI were attached constructs miniature models of places of “activities implied, Polders appointed with reference to structures that allow the Dutch to win the land on the sea BAI acquires the status of world self rhizomes, “managed by an outside time, in the idea of ether, which classifies, identifies and keeps the memory of the ideas and activities of the artist.
To justify his approach, Tatiana Toi states: “For years, my work was non-existent: it was that project titles and ideas embodied not. The Office has come as a shell, a place of storage and visibility of these things.”
