Léa Porré is a French and Belgian artist, born in 1996 and living in London. She graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2021, and from Central Saint Martins in 2018.

 

In her research-based practice, she excavates her ancestral memories, by interweaving micro-history and mythological motifs. With a focus on historical and sacred sites as memory palaces, she experiments with 3D world-building as a tool to heal from our past, and future-forecast.

 

She has exhibited her work internationally, most recently at the Centre Pompidou and Brownstone Foundation in Paris and MAMO Modulor in Marseille, France, Paradise Row Projects, Tate Modern, and LUX in London, UK.

 

She took part in Akademie Schloss Solitude and ZKM Karlsruhe web residency, ‘Ghosted’, shortlisted for the 2020 Hash Award.
