ABOUT

Hermine Bourdin is a sculptress known for her abstract sculptures. Her artistic practice is inspired by the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods. She works with clay, stone, bronze and digital mediums.

Her physical works have been exhibited in London, Geneva, Paris, New York, Lisbon, Copenhagen, and Berlin. Her digital creations have been showcased at CADAF’s Digital Art Month in Paris, New York, Vatican City and Lisbon, as well as at Art Basel Miami. She created monumental stone statues for the Bonisson Art Center in France and for the city of Saint Denis.

Hermine Bourdin recently completed a residency in the workshops of the Paris Opéra, where she merged sculpture and dance.

A recurring aspect of her practice is the creation of living sculptures, often brought to life through performance. For her solo exhibition Axis Mundi at the galerie Julie Caredda, Bourdin performed in Malta, within the ruins of a 7,000-year-old temple, embodying a goddess inspired by the prehistoric figurines of the region.

This exploration evolved further in October 2024 with Coddess Variations, a collaborative project with the Paris Opéra. In this performance, a dancer from the Opéra de Paris became the living embodiment of one of Bourdin’s sculptures at the iconic Palais Garnier.

Born in France in 1988, Hermine Bourdin lives and works in the Paris region.
