Marie-France Giraudon

Marie-France Giraudon was born in France and lives in Canada. For the past 30 years, the artist has developed a body of work around the notions of landscape, site and territory. Her installations and videos aim to rethink the growing physical and philosophical gap between humans and nature. She revisits certain wilderness areas to question the de-naturalized relationship we have with them as urban individuals. Close to performance art, her experimental expeditions lead her to create works-experiences where reality and imagination intersect. The installations are regularly exhibited in Europe and North America. The videos have been presented in numerous festivals in Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Russia, Africa and several have won awards.
