Noémie Goudal

Noémie Goudal’s (b. 1984) practice involves the construction of ambitious staged, illusionistic installations within the landscape, documented using film and photography. Goudal's oeuvre expands photography across its standard parameters into immersive installations and performances, underpinned by rigorous research examining the intersection of ecology and anthropology and the limitations of theoretical conceptions of the natural world. Goudal's latest work unravels an artistic dialogue with the field of palaeoclimatology, analysing climate and geology from the vantage point of "deep time" to acquire an understanding of our planet's trajectory. Noémie Goudal graduated from the Royal College of Art (UK) in 2010 with an MA in Photography. She was shortlisted for the Prix Marcel Duchamp 2024.
