Born in 1994
Lives and works in Geneva
Thomas Liu Le Lann is an artist whose practice unfolds through videos, sculptures and installations crafted from materials such as fabric, glass, wood, photography, sound, and found objects. His environments explore vulnerability, failure, power dynamics, and the politics of the body, drawing from both personal and collective experiences through a logic of play, subversion, and autofiction. His exhibitions often feature soft, anthropomorphic sculptures that linger between passivity and resistance, embodying a quiet yet persistent presence. Liu Le Lann’s works stages a tension between the intimate and the political, where notions of identity and agency are continuously reshaped.
He has had solo exhibitions at E-Werk, Freiburg; La Samaritaine, Paris; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Le Locle; VIN VIN, Vienna and Naples; Galerie Xippas, Paris and Geneva; Lubov, New York; Dittrich & Schlechtriem, Berlin; and Maladie d’Amour, Grenoble. He has also participated in institutional exhibitions at Centre d’Art Contemporain, Geneva; CAPC Bordeaux; Forde, Geneva; MAGCP, Cajarc; Fondation Pernod Ricard, Paris; Centre d’Art Contemporain d’Yverdon-les Bains; Fondation BNP Paribas, Geneva; Mikro, Zurich; Le Commun, Geneva; Extramentale, Arles; and FMAC, Geneva, among others.
