Lili Reynaud-Dewar (b. 1975, France) is an artist whose practice spans performance, video, sculpture, and writing. Her work explores the permeability of identity, the politics of the body, and the intersection of personal and collective histories. Using her own body as material—dancing, speaking, and inhabiting different spaces—Reynaud-Dewar creates situations where vulnerability, narrative, and transgression converge.Blurring distinctions between the intimate and the public, she constructs environments that host dialogues on emancipation, sexuality, and the role of the artist as a social being. Drawing from figures such as Josephine Baker, Guillaume Dustan, and Pier Paolo Pasolini, her practice critically engages with cultural memory and autobiographical mythology.
Lili Reynaud-Dewar lives and works between Paris and Geneva. Her work has been exhibited at institutions including the Palais de Tokyo, Venice Biennale, Kunsthalle Basel, and the New Museum, New York.
