Dorothée Murail is a photographer, filmmaker, and visual artist whose work seamlessly blends photography, video, and artistic direction. With over a decade of experience in the creative industry, she has collaborated with prestigious international brands, including Cartier, Vera Wang, Martin Margiela, and Dior, as well as leading cultural institutions such as the Centre Pompidou and the Nuit Blanche festival in Kyoto.

A graduate of La Cambre (Brussels) and the École des Gobelins (Paris), Dorothée first made her mark in fashion photography, with her images published in Vogue US, Harper’s Bazaar, and Boycott Magazine. Her artistic practice evolved into motion imagery, leading to notable projects such as directing a music video for Stromae and Joe Hisaishi, and producing an artwork like AKA, which was showcased at the Centre Pompidou and international film festivals.

Her time in Japan has profoundly influenced her work, deepening her engagement with cultural narratives and interdisciplinary projects. The "Redscale" series, featuring Butoh dancers from Sankai Juku, explores the tension between honne and tatemae, core concepts in Japanese society.

Dorothée is now expanding her practice into curatorial projects and exhibition development, driven by a passion for visual archives, contemporary artistic dialogues, and cross-cultural exchange.
