Lili Reynaud-Dewar

Artist

Lili Reynaud-Dewar (1975) dances, talks, writes, teaches, and makes objects, video installations, films, journals (Pétunia), alone or with her friends, her students, or her mother, evoking transgressive figures from the cultural production of the 20th century: Josephine Baker, Guillaume Dustan, Bjarne Melgaard, Cosey Fanni Tutti or Pier Paolo Pasolini. Her work is not structured around a theme or particular axis, but instead searches to bring social and political questions into the field of aesthetics and to render visible the contradictions of such an enterprise.
