Val·entin Aubois-Liogier  
Artist & Researcher based in Paris (FR)

Coming from a design background, I navigate across disciplines and media: designing, writing short texts and poetry, performing, dancing, and creating installations. My work explores socioecological and sociosensory transformations in domestic and urban spaces, engaging with the banal, the liminal, the rejected, the filthy, and the abject. Glimpse of my practice.

Since 2021, I’ve been pursuing a PhD in Design and Urban Planning at the CITERES lab (UMR 7324), while also teaching in these fields (agrégé* d’arts appliqués). My practice-based doctoral research explores how users and stakeholders perceive human urine recycling systems, with a particular emphasis on the system I designed. PhD Abstract. Academic profile. Academic publications. Urine is an intimate, powerful, and often overlooked bodily fluid at the center of my current research and artistic practice.

PhD defense the 8th of July 2026 2pm: link to come!
