Céline Huyghebaert is a French-born Canadian writer and artist,[1] who won the Governor General's Award for French-language fiction for her novel Le drap blanc at the 2019 Governor General's Awards.[2]
She is known for her narrative work that blurs the boundaries between fact and fiction.[3] In her approach, she moves fluidly between image and text through prints, books, and exhibitions. She is particularly interested in poor materials and collaboratives gestures.[4]
Originally from the French department of Yvelines, she has resided in Montreal, Quebec since 2002.[5] She completed a doctorate in arts at the Université du Québec à Montréal,[5] where she was awarded the Bronfman Fellowship in Contemporary Art in April 2019.[6]
Remnants, an English translation of Le drap blanc by Aleshia Jensen, is slated for publication in 2022.[7]
