Valérie Mréjen

A visual artist, photographer and writer, Valérie Mréjen studied at the École National Supérieure d’Arts of Paris-Cergy. She made her first videos in 1997. Her work mingles different types of told or experienced narratives which she rewrites and rearranges, taking her inspiration from memories, everyday events, the cruel or burlesque details of existence, commonplaces or misunderstandings. Le Jeu de Paume devoted an exhibition to her in 2008, “La place de la concorde”. She is also the author of several narratives published by Editions Allia (“Eau sauvage”, 2004, “L’agrume”, 2001) and P.O.L (“Troisième Personne”, 2017), scenic objects (“Trois hommes verts” in 2014 or “Mano Rana” in collaboration with Dominique Gillot in 2019), and films (“En ville” in 2011 or “Enfant chéri” coproduced with Bertrand Schefer in 2016).
