Drawing on our conversations with territories and our relationships with language, Anne-Marie Proulx creates poetic worlds that question both the individual and collective links that we maintain with our environments. Her photographic work often enters into dialogue with text, sound, or video, and is displayed in immersive installations and in the more intimate form of the book. Her current projects are rooted in her consideration of the mutual bonds that must be formed and maintained with other beings and with our natural environments, which has stemmed from the exchange of ideas and perspectives through various collaborative approaches involving not only people but also natural forces. Friendship is at the heart of her approach, and many of her works emerge from conversations, affinities, and various forms of complicity.
Anne-Marie’s work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions in Québec, Canada, France, Austria and the UK. Her photobook Le jardin d’après was published by Éditions Loco in 2021. Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, Hydro-Québec, Méduse, and the City of Montreal. She is a recipient of the MNBAQ Contemporary Art Award (2025), and was a finalist for the Prix Lynne-Cohen (2019) and the Videre Creation in visual arts Award (2018). She holds an MA in Art History from Concordia University, where she also completed a BFA in Studio Arts after a year at NSCAD University.
Involved in her community, Anne-Marie has worked since 2014 as Artistic Codirector of VU, centre de diffusion et de production de la photographie. She lives and works between Saint-Roch-des-Aulnaies and Québec City, along the great river by which she grew up and whose shores have been visited for millennia by the Wendat, Wolastoqiyik, Innu, Abenaki, and Atikamekw peoples.
