Marie Reinert

Marie Reinert, born in 1971, works at the frontier of performance art.

Her work is defined by concepts of infiltration and parasitism. She enacts protocols of analysis and deconstruction of objects, organisations, and hierarchies, through which she constructs a varied body of work integrating video, drawings, performative action, sculptures, and installations. Her work explores different areas, such as public space (Valeur ajoutée 2002, Sur les Traces 2003), ergonomics (Etude Geste; 2013), while an important part is concentrated on business as a social and economic system (Infiltrations, 2005). She has participated in long-term residencies with companies that culminated in the creation of works such as Roll On Roll Off (2012), for which she involved the crew of a commercial ship that insures routes between Marseille and Algiers, and Faire (2008) at the Departmental Archives of Ille and Vilaine.

Her work has been shown at various institutions such as the Stedelijk Museum (2011), the Abbatoirs of Toulouse (September 2010), MACVAL (2009), and the FRAC Ile-de-France.
