LAURE JOLISSAINT

Resident April 2024

Laure Jolissaint (1988) is an interdisciplinary artist. She works and lives in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland.

Her artistic expression reflects the movements of her inner world, often dreamlike and poetic. The disciplines closest to her are dance, performance, poetry, and video. She does not exclude any discipline because she prioritizes content and the artists she collaborates with above all else.

Research plays a significant role in her creative process. The place where the artist conceives and presents her project strongly influences its outcome; therefore, it is integrated and treated consciously. International residencies are a way to feed her desire for discovery and the opportunity to bring back raw material.

Particularly interested in the phenomenon of water, the connection between voice and body, rituals, and mental health, her practice tends to merge art and care.

"My grounding in the earth and awareness of my body allow me to realize my ideas in material."

In addition to her individual practice, Laure Jolissaint is involved with the Ultramarine project.
