When Brigitte Bardot was asked to describe the best day of her life, she infamously replied, “It was a night”. London-based artist Marie Jacotey (b. 1988, Paris, France) is likewise intrigued by nocturnal dramas, emotional insomnia, and the intimacies at stake in couples’ bedrooms, presenting a selection of works relating to a time of night, dusk, or dawn.

This exhibition features work from recent series including Dear Love…
