Works

Since 1993, Natacha Lesueur uses the body as a surface for inscriptions, a more or less regular support for culinary preparations or for the prints she lays upon it. An object of desire, this body has been submitted to different series of treatments that can be defined as constraint, but also as staging, mask, ornament or camouflage. Her work has always negated the face, the very place of identity and singularity.
