Stéphanie Morissette

For each of her projects, Stéphanie Morissette creates a narrative environment. She tells or revisits a theme from different points of view. Her work focuses on human behavior throughout history, and on the conflicts linked to the use of technology in our daily lives and in the geopolitical sphere. The artist is also interested in the impact of technology on nature and the psychology of the various players who use it.

In terms of form, his installations are made up of paper, motors, drawings, photos, animations and videos. This hybrid approach seeks to transcend the mediums themselves. The introduction of volume and movement into his two-dimensional works lends his work a serial and sequential aspect that is akin to cinema and comics. His aesthetic - seemingly naïve at first glance, but tinged with dark humor - enables him to deal with troubling subjects.

In 2017, she received the CALQ Prize – Artwork of the Year – Estrie, for her exhibition L’inquiète forêt (Troubled Forest). She currently lives and works in Sherbrooke, Qc. Canada.

Her works, paper and videos, have been exhibited in galleries and festivals in England, Belgium, Canada, China, Germany, Spain, United States, Finland, Iceland, Poland, Syria, Taiwan and Turkey, in international events such as 22e Rencontres Traverse Video, Toulouse, France (2019); Les Rendez-Vous du Cinéma Québécois, Montreal (2018); the International Symposium of Electronic Arts (ISEA), Hong Kong (2016); Women Make Waves Film and Video Festival, Taiwan (2011); and the 10th International Biennial of Contemporary Art of Istanbul (2007). During the last 20 years, Stéphanie has been involved in many art organizations and festivals in the province of Québec.
