Tampon-Lajarriette

French, born in 1982


Marion Tampon-Lajariette, a Franco-Swiss visual artist, photographer and video maker, explores the porous borders between memory and imagination. She is particularly inspired by the history of film and science as well as by museum collections, using elements related to them in her work.

She tries to understand and shed light on how images enter the mind and are generated again after a process of integration, selection and transformation. In this way, she questions the phenomena of projection and invention, which structure our relationship to reality.

Tampon-Lajarriette’s animated video Manderley, which is in the Pinault Collection, was shown during the 2009 exhibition "Un certain état du monde ?" (“A Certain State of the World?”) at the Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Moscow.
