Nina Laisné

A 2009 graduate of the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux, Nina Laisné also trained in traditional Argentine music. In her work, which combines cinema, music and contemporary art, she is interested in underrepresented identities that evolve in the shadow of recorded history, and in oral traditions exposed to uprooting and blending. In 2010, with Os convidados, her images became sound, evoking traditional songs. In 2013, her film En présence, for which she collaborated with musician Daniel Zapico, crystallized the balance between visual and musical writing around religious reminiscences in Venezuelan folklore. In 2017, she created the show Romances inciert, un autre Orlando, the fruit of her encounter with François Chaignaud. In 2018, the pair shot Mourn, O Natur !, a short film inspired by Massenet's opera, Werther. Alongside Daniel Zapico, in 2020 Nina Laisné set up a new record label, Alborada. Their first album, Au mond, won numerous awards, including the prestigious Diapason d’Or, 4F Télérama and 5 Étoiles from Pizzicato.
