Gaëlle Choisne’s practice combines a documentary approach (photography and video) with the use of raw materials, addressing socio-political issues related to the over-exploitation of natural resources and colonial history. Born of a Haitian mother and a Breton father, the artist blends oral traditions, Creole mythology and popular cul- ture in works that refer to both Haiti’s history and her own personal narrative. Choisne has been awarded the Marcel Duchamp Prize 2024. Recent solo exhibitions include Temple of Love – Coeur, Scuola Piccola Zattere, Venice (2025), Maât and the tears of god, Espace Croisé, Roubaix (2024); Temple of Love – To Hide, KfW Stiftung, Francfort (2024), and Temple of Love – Atopos, MAC VAL, Vitry-sur-Seine (2022). She has participated in numerous group exhibitions, including Le chant des sirènes, Villa Médicis, Roma (2024), PickPocket, Fondazione Zimei, Teatro Michetti, Pescara (2023), and Ceremony (Burial of an Undead World), HKW, Berlin (2022).
