Bio

Graduated from the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts in Paris. Elodie Dornand'Oh is a visual artist, designer, multimedia creator. When she graduated from the Beaux Arts in 2003, her work was defined by series of purely pictorial works, but her concerns widened and very quickly she adapted herself to other mediums and built her work around themes. She moved to Seoul in Korea with the worry of not getting locked in her discipline, wanting to live the art like an adventure and especially not to produce "ready to expose".

She has been involved in artistic creation since 2005, where her notoriety was built with her participation in various exhibitions such as "Korean-Eyesed", where she exhibited a work capturing the daily life of Koreans. She has since explored many other topics such as cognitive links, memory…, and many different techniques and medium such as silkscreen, installations, drawings, works in situ, publishing, graffiti-paper, sound-mapping and most recently the monumental sculpture to talk about the fragility of our environment . Like a storyteller she reveals the memory of a neighborhood through her objects in "Cabinets of Curiosities" (2010), where she reassembles the rejects of industrial civilization both for their symbolic value and plastic creating an urban archeology Cheonggyecheon district in Seoul. It depicts the mythology of this district by an appropriation of these objects revealing the history of the place and especially that of economic development frantic since the 70s and the sacrifices of the "Korean Miracle".

In "Instant Mirror" (2009), Elodie questions the question of "mirrors" in the era of narcissistic instantaneity ... and rather than providing simple and critical answers, she asks visitors to participate and ask ourselves questions about our ambiguous relationship with our image.

Then come other personal exhibitions, "Preparedness" (2011), "Course of Evanescence" (2013), an in situ course in Japan, "The Shadow of a Star" (2014), "Traditional Makgeolli Factory" (2015), "Traversée" (2015-2016), "Archeology of the Future" (2017).

She has been artist-in-residence in Beppu, Japan, SeMA Seoul, guest at the French Institute of Fukuoka, Art Festival Yeosu and Mac Val de Creteil ...

As part of the France-Korea Year, she published at the Atelier des Cahiers “Croquis de Corée”, ("Sketches of korea" is published by Seoul Selection) an illustrated guide to Korean Culture" collaboratively written with the anthropologist Benjamin Joinau.
