Laure Prouvost likes to play with objects, words, language... and images. She is an internationally recognised artist, notably winner of the Turner prize in 2013 and guest artist at the French pavilion of the 2019 Venice Biennale. Since the 2000s, she has been feeding on her daily life as an artist, a woman and a mother, which she absorbs, digests, transforms and restores in all the forms able to translate her whimsical imagination: films, installations, sculptures, performances she combines with joy and malice. Fugitive impressions, notebooks, capsules, witticism, phantasmagorical staging, the moving image has permeated her prolific work since the beginning. In 2023, FIDMarseille devoted a 4-part programme to this protean facet of his universe.

In partnership with the Musée d'art contemporain de la Ville de Marseille [mac] - Musées de Marseille, the FID invites you to rediscover part of these films.

PROGRAMME 2: THE ARTISTE
The life of an artist? The life of the works? Or the life of art? From museum to life: a cheeky journey through the imaginary world and the history of art to make art part of everyday life.
