Virginie Barré

Born in 1970 in Quimper (France), she lives in Douarnenez (France).

Virginie Barré's work is known for its use of archetypal crime scene imagery borrowed from TV, film and detective literature. Her works, whether they are sculptures, drawings or installations, push the prior image to the extreme in settings where fiction vies with reality.

Virginie Barré was invited to take over the lower rooms of the EDF-Bazacle space where she began to tell herself a story that would play with the codes of fantastic cinema and sound and light, and where the border with dreams would be blurred.
