Biography

There is always a monster hidden in the films of Marie Voignier, a material or theoretical entity that cannot be depicted, an adversary of reason whose deafening rumble affects real situations. This overwhelming subject is systematically off-stage, a utopia that the spectator experiences by proxy and snippets, via the narrative of the protagonists. Whether this monster is a "real" fabulous animal hunted in the jungle, colonisation or the totalitarian system, it is only ever evoked remotely and fleetingly. A central but elusive stage phantom. In a sort of devious entomology, Marie Voignier's cinema finally takes a look at looking itself as if the microscope were to turn back and explore the eye that observes through it. Showing that there is no neutrality of observation, her films represent so many critical, sharp but nondirective visions of a state of the world, which remain open to interpretation, relying on a ballistic precision and a poetic imagery.


Guillaume Desanges, "Marie Voignier," in Les cahiers du 19 (L'effef de reel, Fabienne Bal/andras, Marie Voignier), Le 19, CRAC, Montbeliard, September 2016

Born in 1974, Marie Voignier lives in Paris. Her video work has been presented in various exhibitions and programs, most recently at Laxart, Los Angeles (2019), the Beirut Art Center (2018) and at Argos in Brussels (2018). She took part in the Singapore Biennial (2019), La Triennale, Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2012), the Rennes (2012) and Berlin Biennials (2010) and in the International Exhibition and Special Projects of the57th Venice Biennale. Her films are regularly shown in festivals, among which, FID Marseille (2022, 2017, 2014, 2011, 2010), The Viennale, Vienna International Film Festival (2017), the Berlinale, Berlin (2017) and screened in the film programs of major institutions: Centre Pompidou, Paris (2020, 2012, 2008, 2007), Monaco New National Museum (2016) and ICA, London (2015). Marie Voignier published two books : La Piste rouge (2017) and Original Copy (2022), both related to research and interviews made to produce two films, Tinselwood (2017) and Na China (2019) respectively. She was nominated for the Marcel Duchamp Award in 2018.
