Céline Huyghebaert couples writing with techniques such as drawing and silkscreen printing to create a dialogue between text and image in zones, artist books and prints which has been presented in several individual and collective exhibitions. She has also published short stories in collective books and in several magazines such as Moebius and Le Chameau. As part of her PHD in études et pratiques des arts at UQAM, she focuses on artist books and installations as places where the material memory of death is recorded. From March 17th to April 22nd, she is participating at the Biennale du Livre d’artistes du Quai de la Batterie in Arras (France).
