Marilou Poncin lives and works in Paris.

In 2022, she was shortlisted for the SAM Prize for Contemporary Art and received funding from the Fondation des Artistes for her video installation project «Liquid love is full of ghosts.» She also designed a multimedia installation for the CAC Passerelle Brest, which she extended to the MAC Lyon. ...
