Tracy Maurice is a Montréal-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans film and video, sculpture, installation, and visual art. Her work merges analog craftsmanship with digital media to explore interconnected relationships between time, memory, and the ephemeral. Investigating the nature of reality and perception, Maurice engages with both visible and invisible forces found in the natural world. Drawing from a background in Art History, she references early cinema and the history of science to create hybrid, illusory works.
Maurice first gained recognition as the creative director for the band Arcade Fire, designing iconic album artwork and directing video projects for the albums, Neon Bible and Funeral, including the groundbreaking interactive music video Black Mirror. Her work has been shown internationally, including at the 11th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art in collaboration with Dana Michel, Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, HAM Helsinki Art Museum, and Lincoln Center (New York). She has given talks at Pennsylvania College of Art & Design, Berklee College of Music, and HFBK University of Fine Arts, Hamburg. She taught filmmaking at the IDFA Film Academy Summer Program (UC Berkeley), and participated in artist residencies at RU (New York), SÍM (Reykjavik) and Kinosaki International Arts Center (Japan).
