Élise Legal
Artist

Born in Papeete and working in Nantes, Élise Legal is an artist and author.
Through a multidisciplinary approach that combines found images, drawing, and poetry, she pays particular attention to the way language and bodies coexist. She is particularly interested in poetry's ability to produce political effects in reality, both through the images it conveys (such as the figure of the accursed poet) and through its friction with administrative, managerial, or political languages. She is also pursuing a research-creation thesis at Paris 8 University, and her texts have been published by Burn~Août, Même pas l'hiver, and Ma Bibliothèque.
