Gäelle Choisne (1985, FR) lives and works in Paris. 
Sensitive to contemporary issues, Gaëlle Choisne’s practice considers the complexity of the world, its political and cultural disorder, whether it be the over-exploitation of nature, its resources, or the vestiges of colonial history, where Creole esoteric traditions, myths and popular cultures mingle. 

Her projects are conceived as ecosystems of sharing and collaboration, pockets of «resistance» where new possibilities are created, notably with the Temple of Love project. Initiated from Roland Barthes’ original essay on love, Fragments d’un discours amoureux (1977), Gaëlle Choisne adds a political dimension to the concept of love by paying homage to invisible bodies, minority and fragile souls, and dispossessed hearts. Temple of love is an evolutionary project defining itself through its modes of appearance and genesis according to its invitations and its location.
