Adélaïde Feriot
Born in 1985 in Libourne, France
Adélaïde Feriot constructs tableaux vivants in which performers interact with objects made of wax, ceramics, or prosthetics. These function as appendages that either inhibit or structure the body, introducing a disruptive dimension into the portrait just as the corporeality of the flesh upends the pictorial immobility. Adélaïde Feriot explores the thin line between the living and the lifeless, time and its suspension, the ultimate moment in order to examine the hesitation in the act of these bodies become images.
Born in 1985 in Libourne, Adélaïde Feriot is a graduate of the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-arts de Lyon. She lives and works in Paris.
