charline dally lives and works in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal. Graduated from Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains and UQÀM in visual arts, their practice explores analog video signals generated by electric currents and is rooted in both exchanges with researchers and their intimate experiences. They explore water, not only as a vital source of life but also as a means of repair. Their understanding of this resilient mineral process is enriched by the hydrofeminist thought and science-fiction writing of Ursula K. Le Guin, leading them to investigate both intimate and geological memory. In order to foster a state of listening and attention, they transform exhibition spaces into places of introspection, extending a deliberate invitation to slow down and relax the body.
Their work, which takes the form of films, installations, sculptures, prints, and audiovisual performances, has been presented in numerous institutions and festivals in Canada and internationally. Their most recent solo exhibitions were hosted by Diagonale, Montreal (this womb of things to be, 2024), and Caravansérail, Rimouski (blue vessel, 2025). charline is half of the duo le désert mauve.
