Caroline Mauxion draws on her bodily reminiscences following long orthopedic treatments to think about the body and its burden. If the burden of pain is present, it is also a question of the burden of desire on a body, like a palliative on these latent physical sensations. Through a corpus of photographs and sculptures, the artist tries to give body to her body sensations.

Caroline Mauxion graduated in photography from the École des Gobelins (France) and holds a Master's degree in visual and media arts from UQAM. She is a PhD candidate in art studies and practices at the Université du Québec à Montréal since 2021. She has had several solo exhibitions in Quebec (Projet Casa, Galerie B-312, Galerie Simon Blais, Centre d'art contemporain Optica, Galerie de l'UQAM, Caravansérail, Les Territoires). She has completed a residency at the Art Center in Banff and at Est-Nord-Est in St-Jean-Port-Joli. Her work will be exhibited at Arprim (Montreal) and Vu Photo (Quebec) in the fall of 2022. Her work has received support from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec on several occasions. Her work is part of the collection Prêt d'oeuvres d'art of the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the collection of the City of Laval and several private collections in Canada and France.
