Laura Sellies

Born in 1989 in Grenoble

Amélie Giacomini and Laura Sellies have been working together since 2009. They seek to go beyond the notion of ephemerality of performative works by connecting their practice to the concept of “post-performance” (Marie de Brugerolle). They combine performances, sculptures, sound installations, and videos in a work that explores the relationship between the body, language, space, and the notion of community. Through collaborative writing, they create works imbued with numerous literary references and populated with female characters that draw the viewer into immersive worlds.

Born respectively in 1988 in Lyon and 1989 in Grenoble, Amélie Giacomini and Laura Sellies now work in Paris.
