Lilia El Golli

Born in 1972, Lilia has lived and studied in Paris, Madrid and Dublin.

Lilia El Golli is a Franco-Tunisian author-photographer, living in France and making numerous trips to Tunisia, notably from 2012 to 2015 where she settled in order to deepen the knowledge of her roots.

Through the different photographic techniques, she invests the world of the imagination and our notion of beauty, aesthetics having a preponderant presence in its expression. She questions our relationship to the earth, her condition as a woman, as well as the gap between the imagined and the imagined, where the aura (interior space) mingles with the agora (public space).

Her journey takes her to imaginary worlds, constructed or dreamed, to take turns visiting the unspoken, the invisible people, each time digging a little deeper into the notion that she likes to describe as "The unseen", that is to say everything that surrounds us on which our gaze does not stop any longer, because it is judged as non-consumable or of little importance.

Her work has been presented in London, Geneva, Annecy, Paris and Tunis since 2011, she collaborates with media and newspapers such as Arte TV, Carnet d'Art, BabelMed, La Gazelle de Tunisair, and wins a distinction with Havas Worldwide Agency with awareness-raising work on the pollution of the Mediterranean coast in 2013, as well as honorable mention at the Africa Photo Awards, “Fine Art" category in 2020.
