Gabrielle Pouillon is a visual artist specialized in videomaking, set design and animation based in Paris. She studied VAV-Moving Image department at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam where her interest and love for filmmaking grew strong and precise.
She found the themes that are now in the heart of her practice, such as the effect and consequences of time on individuals and society. Her work explores the cultural clash between geographical areas, more precisely the contrast between rural and urban lives. In that sense she directed her first documentary Une vie plus belle, a very intimate film about the marginal life that four women live in an abandonned french village. This work has been screened in the MORE Museum, in Netherlands (2025).
Political, social and philosophical questions are in the middle of her art concepts.
Later, she also discovered the art of animation, more specifically stop motion practice, which answers her need of storytelling and experimenting. This practice of her focuses on more poetic and aesthetic ways of communicating through various mediums and materials.
From concepts to post-production, Gabrielle creates narratives possessing a distinctive style characterized by nostalgia and dreamlike.
