Marie-Ève Levasseur is an interdisciplinary artist currently based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal. Their work spans various media such as video, installation, sculpture, digital printing, 3D animation, as well as virtual and augmented reality. Levasseur is interested in decentering the human, hybrid becoming, and speculative universes that speak to otherness, metamorphosis, and potential collaboration with the technological and organic non-human. Their research and projects are propositional, drawing from a feminist posthumanism and science fiction, often involving speculative design and non-linear storytelling.
After living, studying, and working in Germany for many years, Levasseur returned to Tiohtià:ke/Montreal in 2021.
Levasseur holds a Master's degree and a Meisterschüler from the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig, Germany and has participated in various residency programs, including Schloss Solitude in Germany, Sporobole and La Chambre Blanche in Canada. Their installations have been exhibited internationally, notably in Berlin, Paris, Zürich, Hong Kong and London. The artist’s work is frequently supported by grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and from the Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec.
