Anne Marie Cornu
1961, lives in Paris
She comes from a practice of experimental cinema that has progressively led her to expand into the field of plastic arts. Trained as a cameraman, she manipulates with her hands reels and tapes of images which makes her naturally begin to use celluloid film and magnetic tape in her work. In her first installations, the cinematographic device is approached as an immersive sculpture, as a non-narrative form of expanded cinema. Her exploration of the propagation of image and sound has led her to cross academic boundaries with different media and work in situ developing the work on site.
Her drawings, painted objects, films, sculptures and installations have something performative about them. They are the memory of a gesture, a state of mind, a seismographic or an invitation to explore space.
She has exhibited in Holland, Sweden, Spain, Japan and France.
