Nationality: French
Anne-Marie Cornu comes from a background in experimental cinema that gradually led her towards the expanded field of sculpture. Initially, she made films in collaboration with contemporary musicians. Very quickly, she became interested in the deployment of film in space, its projection, and multi-projections. It was by observing the projection of images and the propagation of sounds that she became aware of the sculptural and pictorial quality of her gestures. In 1993, at the very beginning of her practice, she organized an exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, bringing together about thirty cinema and video installations that questioned these gestures of expansion, which she found transversally in different disciplines: music, dance, or plastic arts. She then brought her gestures to the stage through several creations in collaboration with writers, dancers, performers, and musicians (Célia Houdart, Yuha Pekkka, Sylvain Prunenec, Alexandros Markeas).
Since 2005, she has begun working with wood, drawing, and acoustic sound performance. The explosion of digital technology made her want to return to the body, to direct engagement with material.
She has exhibited in Holland, Sweden, Spain, Japan, and France, including "Monter Sampler" at the Centre Pompidou (2000), "Primera Estacio" in Spain (1999), the Film Museum in Amsterdam (2004), the Yokohama Triennale (2005), the Castello 5X5 Art Centre in Spain (2010), the Bordeaux Biennale (2011), the ISUS cabaret in Sweden (2013), Confort Moderne in Poitiers (2013-14), and La Couleuvre in Saint-Ouen (2015). In 2016, she received a grant from the Fondation Nationale des Arts Graphiques et Plastiques for the Somsons project. In 2019, she was invited by the Tabakalera art center for a sound performance.
