Marcelle Thirache
Born in 1946, in Ivry-Sur-Seine. She begins with the practice of photography and exhibits her work as soon as 1978. First, her discovery of Marguerite Duras with the dissociation between sounds and images, and then the films of Germaine Dulac, foster a growing interest for cinema and finally lead her to choose the Super-8 in 1982. In 1987 she shows her films to yann beauvais and Miles McKane. In 1984, she develops a peculiar skill consisting in hand painting directly on a Super-8 filmstrip. To complete this cinematographic practice, she starts classical painting in 1999.
