Born in 1980

Lives and works in Nice

Alexandra Guillot’s work does not rely on any particular medium, but instead switches between performance, sculpture, drawing, photography, installation and video with a constantly renewed will to create a realm of discreet and long-lasting impressions. An immersed world seems to surface, and with it a strange atmosphere. A form of mysterious language is expressed here; an unknown grammar that resonates and makes sense nonetheless.
The fringes, the night, the ghosts, the wonders… are as many elements that make up Alexandra Guillot’s work, betraying a need to reveal what happens on the edges of everything. This shifted perspective gives us the feeling that what is perceptible in this world only represents a fraction of existence. The artist creates a sensitive and personal work, which shows her poetic relationship with reality and attempts to open us up to an invisible and nocturnal territory.
