Filmmaker and teacher of the plastic arts, born in Paris in 1957. She makes avant garde films using various formats, from Super 8 to 16mm. The invention of the technique of removing emulsion has been attributed to her, discovered by chance while she was using the wrong substance to clean a piece of film. From 1982 to 1986 she worked and studied in Boston before returning to France. Her earliest films were made using traditional editing techniques. Since 1984 she has used a non-traditional form of editing, one not based on dividing the emulsion from the frames. All her work is based on the manipulation of the physical content of the film support and the emulsion itself using different techniques, some taken from figurative art (incisions, collage, graffiti etc.) and with physical attachments. In 1991 she founded the female group "Dissolution/Six solutions" with five other film-makers. She has made around seventy films. Retrospectives of her work have been organized by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.
