Lucie Ternisien

Born in Marseille in 1992, Lucie Ternisien lives in Paris and devotes herself to directing, cinematography and documentary photography that she has developed since she was 16, when she began to photograph spaces and characters crossed in the Street. She has exhibited in photography at the Voies Off in Arles (2019), at the Art Future in Taipei (2020) and at the YIA Art Fair in Paris (2020). Graduated from la Fémis in 2016 in the image section, she has since continued her practice in the cinematographic field - short films, documentaries, fashion videos, music videos, experimental films in collaboration with directors. The first short film she directed in 2016, Better Life, explores the alienation of our feelings through screens and the virtual in a dystopian vision She then directed Twins in 2019, a short film clip for artist Voiski, featuring two twins who compete in ping-pong for eternity, in a paradise garden. His second short film, Monsieur Gris, produced in 2021 and selected by Côté Court in the Art Video section is an absurd experimental short film, featuring the last day of the life of a man who runs a construction company that does not exist. more. The proposed universe is based on a vision of dark, offbeat, sometimes absurd anticipation. Lucie Ternisien is always looking for a strong and meaningful image, as well as the intensity of its link with the soundtrack. She is inspired by her dreams to write, but also by observing reality and society, from the environment to the being. She seeks the connections between the interior of it and the archetypal patterns that direct concrete societal reality. His first two films are found in the denunciation of a system that alienates human beings, and both use the absurd of situations to do so. In 2021, she directed Absence, an experimental film produced in collaboration with the musical duo Lueurs Nocturnes - and Konpyuta with a video synthesis which focuses on forgotten and absent spaces. Lucie Ternisien thus realizes scripted films as more experimental, in collaboration with artists of electronic music. She enjoys playing with the boundaries between cinema and more experimental video, and exploring the peripheries of representation and the subjects covered.
