Marine Ducroux-Gazio

“Tales are something we crave and create all the time as humans. I think as an artist, it's really interesting to create new ones as we live in a very complex and changing world.”

— EXCERPT FROM INTERVIEW (07.02.25)

Marine Ducroux-Gazio is a French artist whose practice navigates the intersection of sculpture, video, and installation to explore the loss of magic in a rationalized world. Deeply influenced by tales, mythologies, and collective imagination, she examines how industrialization and capitalist logic have stripped the world of its enchantment, severing our connection to the non-human and the unseen.

Her work unfolds through sculptural gestures and moving images, creating narratives that reintroduce wonder and ambiguity. Drawing from literature and cinema, she revisits archetypal figures and forgotten rituals, seeking to reawaken sensitivity to the world’s hidden rhythms. Sustainability is embedded in her approach, not only in material choices but in her belief that imagination is a form of care—a way to resist disappearance. Through her work, she invites viewers into a space where myth and matter intertwine, offering an alternative to the accelerating loss of meaning in contemporary life.
