life and work

Joëlle de La Casinière was born in Morocco in 1944 and grew up in France. In 1971 she sold her artistic works and all her belongings and began a new phase of life. She said goodbye to sedentarism in order to go on extensive journeys for decades, which took her to South America, Colombia and Peru, Canada and Europe. Joëlle de La Casinière currently lives in Belgium.

So far, during her travels, she has managed around 500 "Tablotin" and 15 books with up to 600 pages. It is a kind of idiosyncratic travel diary, a combination of self-composed poetry, texts, ornamental drawings, lettering and collages from found images and found objects such as candy wrappers or stickers.

La Casinière makes video films. She works with the Montfaucon Research Center , the writer Michel Bonnemaison and the musician Jacques Lederlin. The films Carmen 84 and Le Bruit de l'image from 1983 are known. La Casinière showed the video film Grimoire magnétique (1982) at documenta 8 in 1987 .

“A musical picture book describing the story of the Islamic martyr Hallaj , who worked between Persia and Baghdad in the 10th century, was accused of heresy and sentenced to death. The story is sung, presented as text and in sign language and illustrated with pictures of postage stamps, packaging, etc. "
