Born 1990 in Paris, France,
where she lives and works.

In her visual art and photography, Lucile Boiron seeks to reach beyond the imagery traditionally associated with femininity to dispel the clichés dictated by patriarchy’s legacy. Presented in the Musée Guimet’s cabinets, and combining varied techniques and materials, her installation asserts new forms of sensuality. Boiron’s piece celebrates bodily states that are typically perceived as “abject” – rather than desirable, seductive nudes. Her photographs and her glass and plexiglass sculptures, in saturated satin colours, often betray the raw reality of immodest and fragile bodies. Spilling out of the cabinets and stepping out of bounds, she points to what disrupts identity and order by the intrusion or presence of a foreign body. Between attraction and repulsion, her fleshly and organic representations solicit, disturb and fascinate desire.
