Gabrielle Chardigny is a French artist and sculptor based in Berlin, where she works at SüdKreuz Ateliers. She graduated from the École Supérieure d’Art et Design de Saint-Étienne (ESADSE) in 2021.

Working primarily through site-specific installations, she combines natural and industrial materials to create environments where natural processes unfold over time. Her work explores the infrastructures through which the living world is extracted, circulated and transformed.

Her work has been exhibited in Portugal, France, Germany and Italy. In 2025, she received the Schwabach Art Prize (Germany). She was an artist-in-residence at Montemero Residency (Spain) in 2023 and at Campidarte Residency (Italy) in 2026.

“I work with natural processes. Germination, condensation, capillary or crystallization become the material of my installations. The natural materials I use come from chains of extraction and circulation within the living world. Before being incorporated into the installation, they have already been transformed within human infrastructures. Over time, salt crystallizes, water circulates, plants grow and metal oxidizes... The installation becomes a space for observing processes as they continue to evolve according to their own logics, often beyond the trajectories imposed on them by human infrastructures.”
