Sylvia Bossu (20 June 1962 – 15 July 1995) was a French conceptual artist. After exhibiting her works in Paris, Antwerp, Vienna, Munich or Berlin in the early 1990s, Bossu died prematurely in a car accident in 1995, aged 33. Standing in the tradition of Marcel Duchamp, Bossu "used the language of the ready-made to construct machines that become metaphors for alienation, isolation, and death in everyday life."[3]
