Florence Babin-Beaudry is a Canadian artist and cultural worker based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal. Rooted in a research-creation approach, she is interested in the metaphysical dimension of reality. Through photography, video and sound, she explores the psychic territories related to death and absence, particularly in the context of intimate experiences such as abortion, near-death and altered states of consciousness. Often silenced in the social sphere, these events become, in her work, entry points for a sensory exploration of memory and the unseen. Through her visual narratives and soundscapes, she brings to light the subtleties that arise from these intangible spaces.

Her creative process is both experiential and documentary. It draws from life stories collected through interviews, scientific readings, as well as references to spiritual and mystical traditions from various cultures. From this research emerge installations that create a dialogue between the visible and the invisible, the intimate and the universal, the ephemeral and the sacred.

Florence Babin-Beaudry holds degrees in film production and photography. She has also been working as an artistic director on multiple projects in the film, entertainment and fashion industries for over 20 years.
