Born in 1980, artist
choreographer Myriam Lefkowitz lives and works in Paris. Since 2010 she has been researching the questions of attentiveness and perception through immersive procedures for a performer and a spectator. The resultant context is conducive to a perceptual experience augmented by visual and tactile inputs, walking and liminal states between sleep and wakefulness. Her work was shown at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013 as part of the exhibition Oo in the Lithuanian/Cypriot pavilion. In the same year she was made a tutor on the pedagogical committee of SPEAP, the Master's in Experimentation in Art and Politics founded by the sociologist and philosopher Bruno Latour. She is a regular invitee at institutions including the Centre Pompidou in Paris, MAC VAL in Ivry, the Open School East in London, the Royal Academy of Art in Stockholm, the ENSAV school of architecture in Versailles, the National Schools of Art in Besançon, Angoulême and Angers, and the department of dance at Paris University 8.
