Christelle Oyiri

Das sagt der/die Künstler:in:

Christelle Oyiri is an artist, DJ and producer based in Paris. She works across multiple disciplines – from music and film to performance and installation – often exploring under-the-surface stories about contemporary culture, media and identity. Oyiri has described her work as focusing on ‘the things that lie between the lines’, including lost mythologies, youth subcultures, and diasporic histories. She has staged installations, performances and events around the world, including at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Haus der Kunst in Munich, Tramway in Glasgow and the Serpentine Gallery in London, as well as working as a DJ under the pseudonym CRYSTALMESS. LAS Art Foundation’s presentation of Oyiri follows exhibitions in 2025 at Tate Modern’s Tanks and a presentation at Bourse de Commerce, Paris, as part of their Corps et âmes exhibition.
