Biography

Jessica Arseneau explores the way social phenomena, technological progress and temporal structure shape human subjectivity and the collective body. She works with video, performance, print, and text to create environments that allude to a poetic space between consciousness and the unconscious. Her current work focuses on the phenomena of sleep and insomnia in a 24/7 world.

Her solo exhibitions include The Screen Under My Eyelids at Helmut, Nothing but a Constant Glow at Spinnerei Archiv Massiv (2020, Leipzig) and Lost Idyll at Galerie d’art Louise-et-Reuben cohen (2016, Moncton). She exhibited at Galerie Sans Nom (Moncton), Darling Foundry (Montreal), Eastern Bloc (Montreal), BronxArtSpace (New York), Agora Collective (Berlin), Traverse Vidéo (Toulouse), Friche la Belle de Mai (Marseille) and Westpol A.I.R. Space (Leipzig).

Born 1988 in Canada, she holds a Bachelor of visual Arts at Université de Moncton and a Diploma of Media Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig, both with distinction.
