Through digital art, performance, installation, poetry and sound, Loïs Soleil’s artistic practice aims to bridge the emotional and the political by posing intersectional cyber/techno-feminist questions.
Loïs Soleil’s work confronts the everyday sexist structures of the web, its biased algorithms, codes, cultures and languages. It explores the relationships between, pop culture, identity, voyeurism and desire; often employing self-portraits, internet performances, and poetry to illustrate a female gaze through which sexuality, love, vulnerability and empowerment can be expressed. From the leitmotif of the bedroom, to relationships, everyday rituals and post-dentity writing, the artist’s work is autobiographically direct, raw and emotionally vulnerable in its hyper intimacy. For Loïs Soleil, the personal is political, the private is political.
Currently living in Brussels, Loïs Soleil is a Franco-Scottish artist who has studied Fine art internationally: at Leeds University, Ensba Lyon and the École de recherche graphique (erg).
