Juliette Pénélope Pépin’s transdisciplinary practice explores the links between human and non-human perceptions; their phenomenology, mythology and technological frameworks. Through installations, videos, prints and speculative narratives, Juliette Pénélope questions the meanings of «seeing» and «being seen» in our time.
The videos produced by the artist are like streams of collective (un-)consciousness. They are fed by a heterogeneous material; scientific images, publications on social networks or images of wildlife observations. These visual streams are often supported by fictional texts that the artist sometimes even co-writes with an artificial intelligence.
Her installations are fragments of long researches on themes related to Queer ecology, Hydrofeminism and techno-criticism. These fragments are presented in the form of printed, textile or sculptural creations arranged in a given space.
Through participatory, collective and interdisciplinary projects, Pépin sets the limits of her practice beyond the art gallery space. Reflecting on the multiple paradigms that shape our time, she values and develops participatory, discursive and negotiable research projects.
She is currently programmed as an artist-researcher at the ICA Kyoto (Kyoto Center for Contemporary Art - Fall 22). Recent exhibitions include the group show ‘Hydrographism’ with her collective LIMB at Brighton CCA Dorset Place (UK), the group show ‘When, Suddenly’ with University Plurality at Espace Voltaire (FR) and the ‘working conditions’ commission for BLINDSIDE Gallery (AUS).
