Born in France, lives in Paris (France).

Artist, photographer, videoartist and writer, Valerie Mréjen multiplies the medium to better explore the possibilities of language, and to make her videos, she seeks inspiration in her memories, in day-to-day occurrences, and cruel and ironic details from her life. She combines different types of stories that she rewrites and reworks to later use them in her work with comedians and people around her. Valérie Mréjen is also the author of the documentary Pork and milk that in 2004 found fame. She has exhibited her work at the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Art in San Francisco, at the Jeu de Paume in Paris (2008) and at the Tate Modern in London (2006). Her first feature fiction, En ville, co-directed with Bertrand Schefer, was released in France after a premiere at the directors fortnight in Cannes 2011.
