Biography
Serge-Olivier Rondeau's practice intersects social science research, media arts and experimental ethnography. His films and installations explore the ecology of relationships between humans and other-than-human entities. He is particularly interested in the lived experiences (of collaboration, symbiosis, violence) that these interactions generate. He participated, among other things, in the Manif d'art 7 in Quebec City with the Épopée group, exhibiting Fractures (2014), an installation made with the films Ruptures (2014) and Insurgence (2013). For the Mois de la Photo à Montréal (2016), he presented at the McCord Museum a nine-channel video installation, In loving memory < 3, with After Faceb00k of which he is the co-founder. In 2021, he directed the short film Grand National and his first feature film, Resources, a look at the conditions of living beings caught in the meat supply chain.
