Pulling from a multiplicity of influences – fashion subcultures, radical design, or the history of cinema –, Lili Reynaud-Dewar (born 1975 in La Rochelle, France) draws slanting lines between her personal history and some universal cultural signifiers. She often identifies with icons of cultural or racial transgression, such as writer and activist Jean Genet, visionary jazz musician Sun Ra, or dancer Josephine Baker. Thanks to the use of performance and the text, and through ever-changing roles and the interplay of people and objects, Reynaud-Dewar creates a dialogue that challenges fixed identities, or the politics of the exhibition.
