Lucile Boiron is a French contemporary photographer. In 2019 she won the Libraryman Prize, and published her first book, Womb.
The book was presented at the 2019 Printed Matter’s New-York Art Book Fair at MoMA PS1. She was also nominated for the 2020 Arles’s Author Book Prize, as well as for the ADAGP Artist Book Revelations. Working as a colorist, the artist sculpts flesh, questioning biological truth of bodies, fascinated by the ambivalence between what is defined as infamous and sensuality. She has studio with Poush Manifesto, Clichy.
About ‘Womb’ – words by François Cheval:
Lucile Boiron (b. 1990, French) explores and exhausts fragments of flesh, these moments when human nature appears for what it is, that is, perishable. Far from making an inventory of the feeling of revulsion, she questions the body’s biological truth, and attempts a photographic answer to the issue of good and bad taste.
Bodies, to which we no longer pay attention, here remind us of their true condition: territories where states are shared, yet unique, bearing traces of stories that the skin alone is able to understand.
