Gabrielle Desrosiers's practice travels between performance and installation. Her works bring together photography, sculpture, video and collected objects. In the manner of a collage, her compositions act like simulations in which arguments waiting to be resolved, phantasies and nightmares intermingle. Her research is influenced by her interests in the behaviour of Western society, anthropology mythology, capitalist ideology and the catastrophes linked to global warming.

Her work has been presented in Montreal-based venues and events, among others at Zone-Homa (2015), festival Art Matters (2015), Centre des arts actuels Skol (2016), VAV Gallery (2018), Circa art actuel (2018), Fonderie Darling as part of the RIPA – Rencontre interuniversitaire de performance actuelle (2019), as well as elsewhere in Quebec, such as at Festival d’art performatif de Trois-Rivières (2019), the artist-run centre Écart in Rouyn-Noranda (2020), Espace F in Matane (2020) and at Galerie du Rift in Ville-Marie (2020).

Born in Quebec City in 1986, Gabrielle Desrosiers currently lives in Rouyn-Noranda. She holds a diploma in set design from École de théâtre de Saint-Hyacinthe (2007), an BFA from Concordia University in Montreal (2018) and the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem (2017). She received the Irene F. Whittome visual arts awards (2018) as well as the Prix Relève du Conseil de la culture de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue (2020).
