About the artist
Lucile Boiron's photographs and installations recount hidden bodily states. With vivid colors and an almost tactile use of light, she confronts the viewer with the painful intimacy of living decay processes. She isolates her subjects - a woman's body, a decomposing fruit - with surgical precision. Skin is freed from its traditional functions to become a place of passage and multiple transfigurations. By adopting the artist's point of view, the viewer perceives the subjects of her photographs in those moments when boundaries blur, in a new proximity. She builds bridges between different materialities where skin blends with the physical world around them.
In 2019 she won the Libraryman prize and published her first book, Womb. The book was presented at the 2019 edition of Printed Matter's New-York Art Book Fair MoMA PS1, then exhibited as part of the New Visions Triennial at Henie Onstad Kunstenter. More recently, his work has been exhibited at the Révélations Emerige in 2021, and as part of the 16th Lyon Biennial in 2022.
