Born in Brussels in 1978 to a Belgian mother and a Beninese father, the Iffy Tillieu allows her parents and family to play an important role in her works with them being simultaneously present and absent…
Iffy is a conceptual and visual artist working with different media: painting, fabric design, video performance…
She started art school as a teenager and later studied for a Master in Fine Arts at the University of Ghent and Brussels.
She is self-taught in poetry and in various social sciences that she uses for her video performances, which have been exhibited internationally.
Iffy’s works move at the intersection of art and craft, queerness and normativity, the philosophical and the spiritual, technology and ritual, exploring meta-feminisms and seeking to expand visible and invisible boundaries.
