BIO

At 25 years of age, Flore Vasseur moved to New York to set up her own marketing consultancy firm. Gaining first-hand experience of an all-powerful and omniscient capitalist system, she lived through powerful events such as the internet bubble and the 9/11 attacks. Since then, she has resorted to writing in an effort to make sense of the end of this world, and the emergence of another. She makes use of all the forms (novels, articles, documentaries, radio chronics and television series) and platforms (Le Monde, Le Parisien, Le Figaro, Canal Plus, Arte, Libération, Backchannel) available to her, in order to question our relationship with consumption, performance, technology and power.
 

TEDStories, a documentary series that she created in collaboration with TED Conferences and the Arte television channel, aims to showcase the ideas and energy of those who wish to change the world, exploring how much this costs them and what they receive in return. Her work is ultimately focused around the issues of free will, commitment and courage.
