Art is a poetic attempt to master reality in its entirety.
- Marie-Jo Lafontaine
Marie-Jo Lafontaine is a contemporaryconceptual artist born in Belgium. She is best known for her sculpting and videos, but she also works with textiles, tapestry, video installations, still photography. Some notable works by Marie-Jo Lafontaine include Dance the World! () which is a lyrical film documenting dancers performing Flamenco and Tango; Steel Tears () which is a video sculpture; or Babylon Babies, which is a series of portrait photographs of teenagers in large format on monochromatic backgrounds, published in book format. Marie-Jo Lafontaine focuses her works on human existence in all its varied forms. Some have identified her photography as being documentary in style. Perhaps existential in theme, her compositions capture the beauty or intrigue of the world around us, or bring us to see people
Marie-Jo Lafontaine (*) can be counted among the most highly regarded artists of the present ever since she appeared at the documenta 8 in in Kassel with her spectacular video installation “Les larmes d’acier”.
Lafontaine’s movies circumscribe aspects of human existence in a dramatic way using picture and sound. The search for a motive and actor, which is defined using extensive photographic research, ranks first, well before the making of the actual movie. Lafontaine picks the most intense portraits from numerous photographs for her photographic oeuvre. Being a painter and a sculptor, she complements the massively framed photographs with monochrome coloured plates and stages grand pictorial experiences.
After her first single exhibition in Germany at the Sprengel Museum in Hannover in , she celebrated her first gallery show at the walter storms galerie in Munich in
