Marie-Michelle Deschamps

Born in 1980 in Montréal, Canada

Marie-Michelle Deschamps is interested in language and the processes of meaning. She highlights the relationship between words and things and her work acts as a metaphor that allows her to translate reality in a distanced way. It is, to use Édouard Glissant’s notion, a way of accounting for the opacity at work in the process of transposing meaning into the object.

Born in 1980 in Montreal, Marie-Michelle Deschamps studied at the Glasgow School of Arts. She lives and works between Glasgow and Montreal.
