Lilienfeld Ethel

Born in France and based in Brussels, Ethel Lilienfeld is a visual artist exploring the impact of the virtual body on reality. She creates uncanny images that heighten the tension between fantasy and madness, addressing social norms, aesthetic standards, and concepts of identity and gender. Collaborating with actors, sets, and objects, she merges fiction and reality. She has received awards including the Villa Albertine Grant, Opline Prize, and PrixFintroPrijs. Her work has been shown internationally at venues such as FotoFest (US), Ars Electronica (AT), Le Botanique (BE), as well as the upcoming Aesthetica Short Film Festival (UK).
