Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.This sculptural artwork features a unique combination of organic and abstract elements. The visual composition is dominated by a central, crumpled mass of off-white material, which appears to have a soft, malleable texture, contrasting with the vibrant emerald-green core that emerges from within. The overall form suggests a sense of undulating, organic movement, hinting at themes of transformation and interiority.

1992 , FrenchMarilou Poncin lives and works in Paris. As a visual artist, she studied at the Beaux Arts de Lyon, the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, and ENSAD Paris. Her work explores our fantasies in their encounter with new technologies. Her projects feature camgirls, avatars, love dolls, and influencers: these predominantly female figures populate the digital imagination. Each of the phantasmagorical worlds she explores reveals our individual and collective relationships with the societies in which we live, encompassing tastes, desires, lacks, and prejudices. Manipulating video installations, photography, painting, and ceramics, her works intersect multiple formats and mediums.

Launched in 2015 with the award from the Inrocks Lab (new video creation), her work was subsequently exhibited at Espace Témoin (Geneva), Frac Île-de-France, La Villette, Les Magasins Généraux, La Gaîté Lyrique, the Ricoh Art Gallery in Tokyo, and at festivals such as the Créteil International Women’s Film Festival and Videoformes in Clermont-Ferrand. 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. ...
