Pauline Julier is a Swiss French artist and filmmaker whose practice
explores the connections people forge with the world around them
through stories, rituals, knowledge, and images. Interweaving documentary,
theoretical, and fictional elements, her films and installations
reflect the complexity of human relationships with the environment,
drawing links between scientific findings and mythological
narratives to offer shifting perspectives on our place in the world. Her
works have been presented in major contemporary art centers, institutions,
and festivals globally, including the Centre Pompidou (Paris),
Loop (Barcelona), Visions du Réel (Nyon), Wiels (Bruxelles), ZKM
(Karlsruhe), and Tokyo Wonder Site. A two-time recipient of the Swiss
Art Award (2010, 2021) and the ‘‘Mondes Nouveaux’’ grant from the
French Cultural Department (2022), and her solo show Naturalis Historia
toured internationally after opening at the Centre culturel suisse
in Paris (2017). She presented a major solo exhibition at Aargauer Kunsthaus
(Switzerland) in 2024 and made her first fiction feature film, Les
Indes, in 2026.
