Born in 1966 in Paris, he lives there.

 

Florence Lazar uses a direct, effective and emotional documentary style in work that could be located half-way between social concerns and a quest for her own identity. In the video Femmes en noir (Women in Black, 2002), the artist witnesses a fascinating discussion between women from different ethnic backgrounds in former Yugoslavia. The mixing of documentary and artistic discourses leads to results that are extremely moving.

Commissioned by the Centre National des Arts Plastiques, Paris.
