Je suis un artiste visuel qui utilise la photographie comme plateforme de jeu, d'expression, et comme générateur de surprise. J'aime voir les choses pour la première fois.
À travers ma recherche je cherche constamment à renouveler l’émerveillement qui survint il y a vingt ans, quand la découverte du médium photographique me dérouta de mon projet de devenir peintre.
Samuel Choisy (b. 1974, France) is a visual artist working with photography as a playful way to engage with the body and the mind . Choisy received a DNAP from l'École de l'Image d'Angoulême (1999) and a DNSEP from l'École des Beaux-Arts de Nantes (2001). He is the recipient of the Chamlers Arts Fellowship (2016) and many grants form the Ontario Arts Council and Canada Arts Council. His work has been showcased and published internationally. He currently lives, loves, learns and plays with gratitude in Toronto, located on traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Mississauga, Haudenosaunee, Ojibway/Chippewa, and Huron-Wendat nations, as well as the many other Indigenous people whose ancestors lived there.
