HUGONNIER Marine

Marine Hugonnier is a French and British filmmaker and contemporary artist known for her work exploring perception, and the ways in which our point of view determines meaning. Her interest in the relationship between language and image informs her diverse body of works, which includes films, photography, works on paper, performance, sculpture, and installation.
She has been living in London, UK, since 1998. She studied philosophy, anthropology and history of art in Paris, France.

In 1990 she was an intern on the installation of the exhibition PASSAGES DE L'IMAGE at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.[3] There she had a chance to meet and assist influential artists, filmmakers and photographers including Chris Marker, Michael Snow, Gary Hill, Thierry Kuntzel and Jeff Wall. These experiences, although brief, proved life-changing to Hugonnier – who refers to this formative time as "learning a new grammar".

Hugonnier career as an artist started in 2000 with a solo exhibition at Chantal Crousel Gallery in Paris. Her work has been since shown both in film festivals, in public and private foundations and cultural institutions internationally.
