Natacha Nisic — À propos — Slash Paris

Natacha Nisic is an artist and filmmaker. She explores the invisible relationship between images, words, interpretation, symbol and ritual. She weaves links between history, representation and memory and its implications in the political, social and cultural fields. Her work questions the nature of the image through different media: Super 8, 16MM, video, photography and drawing. She created The Crown Letter (2020), an international platform of women artists, in response to the Corona virus crisis. She directed “Rather Die Than Die” (2018) a documentary essay
on the First World War and the art historian Aby Warburg as part of the commemorations of the Centenary of the First World War, and, for Arte, “Andrea’s Heaven” (2014) on a Bavarian shaman initiated in South Korea.
Natacha Nisic exhibits worldwide — recent exhibitions include the Centre Pompidou (2020), Sharjah Film Platform (2019), the Yebisu Film Festival, Tokyo (2018), the Media City Biennale in Seoul (2016), Bienal de la Imagen en mouvement in Buenos Aires, Munfret in Buenos Aires (2016), Fondation Hermès in Seoul (2012), K21 in Düsseldorf (2011), Metropolitan Museum of Photography in Tokyo (2010), British Film Institute, London (2010). In 2014, about his highly acclaimed solo exhibition, Echo at the Jeu de Paume in Paris, the Art Press newspaper writes “His work offers a mediation on cultural differences, on the necessary struggle to consolidate memory against oblivion”. Natacha Nisic created the Children’s Memorial at the Shoah Memorial in Paris in 2005, questioning the question of the monument and its evolution over time. Nisic has obtained numerous scholarships and residencies, notably at the Villa Kujoyama, Tokyo in 2001 and 2016, at the Gyeonngi Creation Center, South Korea (2010) and at the Villa Medici, Rome in 2007.
