ABOUT

Through the media of video, painting and print-making, Nadège Druzkowski explores the concepts of time, memory and absence. She developed a particular interest in the narrative a place can create, as an archive of facts but also of imagination. Taking Marcel Proust’s principle, according to which ‘our memories are only reconstructions’, she investigates the subtle boundary between the real and the illusory, a place where time dissolves into a dream-like world. 

Nadège authored the book A Desert in the Heart in the World and created a film of the the same name, both of which explore the remnants of a thousand years of the monks around the Grande Chartreuse monastery. Her collaboration with the poet Béatrice Brérot on imaginary territories, led to the publication of two books, l’eau d’en haut et dix mille êtres dedans.

She holds a post-graduate diploma from Central Saint Martins in London, and an MA in Fine Art from the Glasgow School of Arts in Scotland. She has exhibited widely in the UK, France, Germany and Iceland.
