Laura Sellies is a graduate of the ENSBA Lyon fine art school and of the department of Creative Writing at University Paris 8. Since then, she has developed a collaborative practice in which film, sound, sculpture, performance and writing are the elements of a silent language embodying forgotten narratives and future myths. Women, their minority status, their bodies, their place in the social system, their capacity to connect and transform themselves are at the heart of her practice. She has been invited to show her work in places including the Palais de Tokyo (Paris), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the Institut d’art contemporain (Villeurbanne), La Monnaie (Paris), the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (Paris), the Théâtre National de la danse de Chaillot (Paris), and the Collection Lambert (Avignon). Internationally, she has taken part in the Dakar Biennale (Senegal) and exhibited at the Wifredo Lam art center (Cuba) and in the AlUla desert (Saudi Arabia). Her work has been supported by a residency at the Académie de France in Rome, Villa Médicis.
