Muriel Toulemonde

Muriel Toulemonde has been a teaching artist (permanent teaching staff) at the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie d'Arles (ENSP) since 2006. She completed her foundational education at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts in Paris, where she was influenced by prominent video artists of the 1980s-1990s. Her academic role involves instruction in visual arts with a focus on contemporary media practices.

Her research explores video as temporal material and examines how reality can be represented through extended perception. Central themes include:

• The human body's capacities and limitations as artistic subject matter
• Interrogation of intimate temporality versus social time constructs
• Correlation of movement, space and time through interdisciplinary practice

She has expanded this into drawing methodologies that complement her filmic investigations.

While no specific student advisement information is available, her pedagogical influence extends through ENSP's programs. Her artistic contributions are regularly presented at international venues including the Paris-Berlin Meetings and Nuit Blanche exhibitions.
