French term or phrase: dans ces repères de formes torsadées
This section is covering the various stages in a brass sculptor's career, when her work moved from one type of sculptured image to another. The last section described large, life-like statues placed outdoors, and the previous one to smaller filiform characters. Now her work has moved onto the following style:

"Puis à partir de 2010 elle nous emmène dans ces repères de formes torsadées entourant l espace ou se passe l évènement qu’elle nous rapporte, .................. "

I was considering using:

"Then, from 2010 she takes us onto her signature pieces of twisted forms, which surround the space where the event she is describing happens. "

But I am not sure if "signature pieces" is exactly what is meant here.

twisted-shape landmarks


Explanation:
event landmarks: " entourant l espace ou se passe l évènement qu’elle nous rapporte,"

She is telling a story, marked by twisted pieces that surround the event space.

IOW, these pieces are intended to mark an "event", which is the message of the work.

... otherwise the entire sentence and event story doesn't make much sense.
