Laura Gozlan

Laura Gozlan is a Paris-based visual artist. She studied scenography at the University of Art and Design in Helsinki and at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (EnsAD) in Paris, before joining Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains, where she studied with André S. Labarthe and Chantal Akerman until 2007.

Her work has been exhibited in institutions in France and internationally, including MoCo (Montpellier), 40mcube (Rennes), Futura (Prague), Kunstraum Niederoesterreich (Vienna), and Les Bains-Douches (Alençon). She is the recipient of the 2026 AWARE Nouveau Regard Prize.

Working across film, installation, and sculpture, Gozlan’s practice unfolds in zones of friction where desire emerges as a form of haunting. Her works construct abrupt situations within intimate, contrasting environments, where bodies appear as surfaces of contact—altered and traversed by dynamics of artifice and senescence.

Her recent micro-fictions introduce MuM, a recurring androgynous figure whom she embodies. Moving through disjointed temporalities, MuM navigates between cosmetics, politics, and altered states of consciousness, exploring their transformative potential.
