Éloïse Plamondon-Pagé has a visual arts practice that combines engraving, photography, installation, video, drawing and writing. Based in Quebec City, she has pursued her research during several creative residencies in Quebec, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, Japan, China and Island, where she also exhibited her work as part of solo and group exhibitions, and international biennales. Throughout her nomadic career, she has questioned her own experiential approach and taken an interest in the dynamic between “elsewhere” and the “local” as a creative potential: it through an encounter with the world that she defines the notions of a contextual creation.

In 2021, the artist worked on Pays d’eaux douces, her first artist's book that she envisions as a space for experimentation and expression, brings together—in book form—various dialogues between the numerous modes of expression she uses to evoke the states of the territory and what inspires her. Her residency at SAGAMIE will enable her to concretely experiment with printed materials in order to enrich her recent research on the photographic and of book form varieties. More broadly, the project Pays d’eaux douces is part of her one-year residency at VU Photo in Quebec City, and is supported by the Première Ovation program.

Éloïse is currently finishing an MFA at Université Laval. She has received several awards and grants, among which a FRQSC research grant for her MFA project, in addition to support from the CALQ and CCA for her professional projects. In 2018, she was the finalist for the Videre – Relève en arts visuels prize for her exhibition L’Air du temps presented at Engramme.
