About the Artist
Born in Bordeaux, Leslie Epsztein is a French designer specializing in projection mapping. After studying at the Emile Cohl School and graduating with a Bachelor’s in Performing Arts, she obtained a master's degree in visual communication at ECV Paris. In 2010, she joined video painter Xavier de Richemont’s team, with whom she worked on international lighting projects for 5 years.
In 2015, she decided to develop more personal projects as an independent designer. In 2016, she worked for “Chartres en Lumières” and “La Fête des Lumières” in Lyon, where she co-produced “Voyage” with Camille Gross at St Paul’s station. The project also traveled to Quito, Ecuador, in the summer of 2017, before returning to London in January 2018. Since then, Leslie’s projects have alternated between commissions and creations, for cities and festivals, in duo with Camille Gross or as a solo artist.
Her favourite themes are time, space, science, dreams and mythologies, which she likes to combine with art history and the cultural elements of the places she visits.
With a background in drawing, cinema and graphic design, she likes to combine both painterly and very graphic approaches in her relationship with the image, paying particular attention to the narrative and musical rhythm of her projects.
