Marie-Claire Messouma Manlanbien

Born in 1990 in Paris, Marie-Claire Messouma Manlanbien lives and works there today. A maker of new forms, an explorer of materials and signs, Marie-Claire Messouma Manlanbien defines herself as a storyteller of poems. Like labyrinths or rebus, her works compose a new topography around the themes of femininity, identity, the body and matriarchal filiation. The artist's works, on the borderline between sculpture, tapestry and installation, offer us the possibility of navigating the meanders of their poetic narratives, of losing the landmarks that have been bequeathed to us in order to better redraw a path of life that is our own.
