Biography

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

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.
