Eve Tagny (b. 1986, Montréal, Québec, Canada) weaves lens-based mediums, installation, text, and performance, to explore spiritual and embodied expressions of grief and resiliency in correlation with nature’s rhythms, cycles and materiality. Her practice considers gardens and disrupted landscapes as mutable sites of personal and collective memory — inscribed in dynamics of power, colonial histories and their legacies.
Tagny earned her BFA in Film Production from Concordia University and a Certificate in Journalism from the University of Montréal. She is included in the 2021 Momenta Biennale, and has previously exhibited at Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, Montréal (2021); Franz Kaka, Toronto (2021); Centre Clark, Montréal (2020); Gallery 44, Toronto (2019); Cooper Cole, Toronto (2019); and nGbK, Berlin (2018) among others. She is the recipient of the the Plein Sud Bursary (2020), the Mfon grant (2018), and has been shortlisted for the CAP Prize (2018), the Burtynsky Photobook Grant (2018) and the OAAG Award (2020). Tagny lives and works in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal, Québec, Canada.
