Edith Marie Pasquier

London/ Umeå

With a background in sound, performance and writing, Pasquier has developed a visual and sculptural language in her conceptual approach to photography and moving image. Pasquier cites that the poetic image is the political image. Her practice encompasses the radical moment of the encounter and how a close listening to multi-species brings forth a moment to reflect and attend to the urgent ecological and social issues of our times. 

Pasquier has received photographic and moving image awards and commissions from institutions in Sweden, the UK and the USA. Exhibitions in 2025 include, solo exhibition, Enargeia at Västerbotten Museum, and group exhibition, Eight Degrees/Contemporary Art on the Forest, Bildmuseet, Umeå, Sweden. Her work is held in private and public collections in the UK and Sweden. Pasquier received her Doctorate in Photography in 2019 from the Royal College of Art and the Victoria & Albert Museum funded by an Arts and Humanities Research Scholarship. 

As a writer she has contributed to numerous international art publications and catalogues. Currently, Pasquier is Associate Professor at Umeå Academy of Arts, Sweden. Previously, Pasquier has worked in contemporary opera, live performance and in political journalism and film media.
