Caroline Gaudriault (born in Paris) is a French author.[1] She has also created art installations for museums based on her literary texts. Over the last 20 years she has worked closely with French photographer Gérard Rancinan.
Biography
[edit]Caroline Gaudriault is a French author of artistic works and essays, translated into several languages. She creates works that give shape to her personal writing, both poetic and political. Her work puts in perspective a thought which implies an artistic approach.
Work
[edit]Her philosophical texts and essays inspire Rancinan's photographs. Her editorial works and his photographs influence each other reciprocally and, as an artistic couple, they exhibit their works together.[2] Gaudriault generally curates the exhibitions and is in charge of the editorial outlines.[3][4] She has created calligraphy installations to give form to her texts.[5]
One early collaboration project with Rancinan was a historical review of the survivors of the bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. The project Paroles d'hibakusha presents the survivors, the so called hibakusha, and gives them a voice through interviews.
A crucial project in her work is the book A Small Man in a Big World, published in 2014 and later translated into English and Chinese.[6] She conducted an interview with American political scientist and senior fellow professor at Stanford University, Francis Fukuyama.[7] Their thoughts about political systems, relationship with modernity, cultural heritage, and social contradictions became central points of the interview.
