JEANNE SUSPLUGAS France

Jeanne Susplugas was born in 1974 in Montpellier and graduated in Art History from Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne University.

Jeanne Susplugas uses a variety of media, such as installations, drawing, photography and film. Her work offers a reflection, not bereft of humour, derision and even cynicism, on the ills of our society. Her main concerns are around strategies of confinement, addiction, alienation and loneliness. Among other things, she questions our society’s relationship to drugs.

Jeanne Susplugas exhibits around the world and has shown her work in places such as the KW in Berlin, the Villa Medicis in Rome, the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the Fresnoy National Studio, the Museum of Modern Art in St Etienne, the Grenoble Museum and on the occasion of events such as the Alexandria Biennale, Dublin-Contemporary or the Vevey Images Festival. Her work is part of various public collections, such as orgigamiSquare 59 squares, linklaters, Madrid; SwarmDots, Fidelity Luxembourg city or chronoPrints, Zebrastraat, Gent.

"In my work, I frequently explore the concept of home, physical or mental, a symbol of safety or claustration, withdrawal or neurological disorders. The idea of a madness, of a paradoxical world in which the individual is in constant struggle and is constantly seeking refuge. My work emphasizes the feeling of loneliness and confinement of each in his own neuroses." – Interview by Jean-Luc Cougy
