Lucile Desamory
°1977, Brussels (BE) – lives and works in Berlin (DE)
Lucile Desamory brings neglected narratives to light. From the testimony of a woman describing her encounter with a UFO in Dark Matter (2010) to the investigation of a journalist trapped in an infernal time loop in Abracadabra (2013), the Belgian artist challenges the way we experience the world.
Her exploration of reality and its shadow leads her to develop a multifaceted practice: in order to make the grey zone between belief and incredulity emerge, she combines media such as painting, installation, performance, and cinema until they become one. Through film projects that embrace a collaborative approach, she bends the conventions of genres such as ghost movies, soap operas and musicals.
The work of Lucile Desamory has been shown among others at the Berlin Film Festival; Anthology Film Archives, New York; Tate Modern, London; steirischer herbst, Graz; Shanghai Biennale; and Wiels, Brussels.
