Lucile Desamory is interested in the frontiers of perception, in the „too much“, the falsified – in the spurned narratives. This interest in marginal phenomena always requires to change the medium. She uses painting, collage, photography, film, and her voice. She combines these techniques into larger webs such as installations, films, radio plays and live performances.
Many projects are created as collaborations like for example the theater play The Extraordinary Wig with Antonia Baehr in 2020, the performance Asteroseismology 2018 with Sabine Ercklentz and Margareth Kammerer. She co-directed second feature film Télé Réalité with filmmakers Glodie Mubikay and Gustave Fundi.
It premiered at the Berlin Film Festival in 2020.
Desamory’s work has been exhibited internationally amongst others at Tate Modern, the Shanghai Biennale “Cosmos Cinema” and steirischer herbst 2023.
Lucile Desamory just completed a television series that is also a feature film, “De Wervelende Wiwar – The Swirling Tangle”.
Lucile Desamory (born in Brussels, 1977) lives and works in Berlin and Brussels.
