Born in 1974 in Montpellier, a graduate in art history from the Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, Jeanne Susplugas has since the 2000s explored physical, mental and social forms of confinement. Her work, which combines drawing, sculpture, photography, video and virtual reality, is exhibited in France and abroad. She lives and works in Paris. Jeanne Susplugas Born in 1974 in Montpellier and a graduate in art history from the Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, Jeanne Susplugas has, since the 2000s, developed a resolutely committed approach that questions the multiple forms of confinement, whether physical, mental or social. Through her work, she explores the relations and distortions of the individual with themself and with others, in an obsessive and dysfunctional world. Her work has been exhibited in prestigious institutions around the world: the KW (Berlin), the Villa Médicis (Rome), the Palais de Tokyo (Paris), Le Fresnoy – Studio National, the Musée d’Art Moderne de Saint-Étienne, the Musée de Grenoble, as well as at major events such as the Alexandria Biennale, Chroniques-Biennale des imaginaires numériques and the Festival Images de Vevey. At the centre of the exhibition: I WILL SLEEP WHEN I’M DEAD, a virtual reality work that invites visitors to an immersive experience. This project offers a unique introspective journey that confronts the viewer with their own perceptual limits and questions our relationship with life and death. With detachment, coherence and precision, Jeanne Susplugas creates a personal universe using a wide range of media. At the crossroads of drawing, sculpture and new technologies, her unique approach produces an aesthetic that is seductive in appearance but quickly unsettling and grating. Jeanne Susplugas’s works are in numerous prestigious collections, including the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the MUDAC (Lausanne), the Bass Museum (Miami), the Kunsthalle Detroit, and several FRAC.
