Mascarade et ruralité

FROM 24.02.2025 TILL 14.03.2025
WITH: Damien Rouxel

Damien Rouxel is a French artist, born in 1993, based in Quimper. He graduated from EESAB in Quimper in 2015 and obtained a degree in art history and archaeology in 2018 from UBO in Quimper. He has recently exhibited at the Marcelle Alix and Sultana galleries in Paris, as well as at Les Abattoirs in Toulouse, in group shows, and at Le Lieu gallery in Lorient in a solo show. His practice blends questions of gender, animality and rurality with cross-dressing. The son of farmers, he has come to question his queer identity in the rural world where he grew up. His plastic work takes shape in videos, photographs he likes to take with his parents and sister on their farm, sculptures and performances. Through staged scenes in which the farm becomes a playground, he explores a fantasized world, which he confronts with reality, at the same time questioning the monster, myth, mask and metamorphosis.

At the start of 2025, he will be working at the Collège Paul Portier and the Lycée Professionnel du Val Moré in Bar-sur-Seine.

Damien’s PAG project revolves around masquerade, carnival, metamorphosis and play, using props, masks, costumes, headdresses, etc. to create and stage figures who question the identity of the region, the stories of its inhabitants and rurality. These figures will then parade around and take center stage for photographic portraits.
