SOPHIE LE MEILLOUR visuals
DO-SA 07.-09.08.24 | Aktionshalle
Sophie Le Meillour is a transmedia visual artist. Born in 1988 in Toulouse, she grew up on the Breton doormat. At 18, she studied for 2 years in Paris, before moving to Geneva in 2009.
► Digital art and textures inspired by the natural world are at the heart of her universe. Her work challenges traditional artistic dichotomies: organic vs. artificial and analog art vs. digital.
► With her video projection, Sophie has performed in many countries such as in Ecuador, Chile, Kenya, Tanzania, USA, Canada, Turkey, Australia, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Netherlands.
► Sophie gave talks in Boston, Melbourne, Zurich, Paris and Geneva. Currently, the visual artist gives workshops on mapping software and Vjing in several media design schools. In 2020, she joined the members of the Télomères Studio and Mapping Festival in Geneva.
► She experiences the prism of the image; from line to movement, from small to large, from flat to volume, she plays with scales, spaces and architecture. Her creations can take the form of drawings, photos, videos, installations, virtual reality and even ceramics. She develops an immersive and dreamlike work of her own, which she confronts and likes to tie to the work of other artists and performing arts disciplines.
