Olivia graduated from the National Superior School of Fine Art in Montpellier (France), where she studied photography and video. She started creating interactive and sound installations in 2002, to gradually arrive into performing arts. In 2008 she moved to Brussels, to graduate from the Lassaad International Theater School, where she was intensively trained by Normann Taylor and Lassaad Saïdï in movement theatre, based on Jacques Lecoq’s pedagogy physical acting.With a strong focus on the body movement, her artwork is constantly juggling from installation and performances through video, photography and liveshows. The body in search of the essence, and the notion of the ephemeral are almost systematic in her artwork and plays with the limits of the absurd and has been presented internationally. Since 2015, she founded a Production company, Equivoc to represent her artwork and open collaborations. She also produces and directs music videos for Montréal’s independent music scene, most notably for Chevalier Avant Garde, Hélène Barbier, ItchySelf and YlangYlang.
