Charting a resolutely oblique trajectory between art, literature, and cinema, Valérie Mréjen stands out as one of the most atypical figures on the contemporary art scene. She develops her work based on everyday events, cruel and burlesque details of existence, memories, clichés, and misunderstandings. Her works have been presented in numerous exhibitions in France and abroad.

A writer whose books deal with the contemporary world in its many contradictory dimensions, Emmanuelle Pireyre alternates between publishing books and performing on stage. She was awarded the Prix Médicis in 2012.
