Cécile Bouffard

Born in 1987, Cécile Bouffard lives and works in Paris. A visual artist, she has held solo exhibitions at the Centre d’art contemporain Les Capucins in Embrun in 2019 (Pourquoi marcher quand on peut danser), at gallery guadalajara90210 in Mexico City (babosa babosa), at Rond-Point Projects in Marseille (High by the phlegme), at La Salle de bains in Lyon in 2022 (Basket case), and at Treize in 2024 (Stinky Jade). She has taken part in numerous group exhibitions, including La fugitive at Crédac in 2022, presented as part of the Festival d’Automne. This was followed by exhibitions at Frac Aquitaine in 2023, the Palais de Tokyo in 2023, Triangle in 2024, and Galerie Marcelle Alix in 2025. Since 2021, she has collaborated with choreographer Ruth Childs on delicate people and Such a Devoted Bunch. She develops collective lesbian-led projects such as VNOUJE (Fusion collective) and La Gousse, and co-founded the space Pauline Perplexe in 2014. Her work explores everyday objects and subtle gestures, playing on an ambiguity between the familiar and the strange, and blurring the boundaries between uses and forms.
