Born in Lille in 1996, Quentin Douchez-Wanscoor lives and works in Roubaix. His work spans video and installation, as well as sculpture, performance, music and writing. He crafts narratives in which philosophy, myths, fantasy, pop culture and post-internet culture intersect, set out in theatrical installations made of plaster, ropes and fabrics, but also digital images and electronic music. Behind a childlike, colourful world, he explores darker themes such as the fear of death, loneliness and depression, which he contrasts with reflections on metamorphosis, care, melancholy and curiosity about the world. He is a graduate of the universities of Lille and Nantes and the École des Beaux-arts de Nantes Saint-Nazaire, where he obtained his DNSEP (national arts degree) in 2023. He has done projects in France, Senegal and Bolivia. His work has been shown at Super Galerie, galerie RDV and the TU in Nantes, Espacio CACA in Santa Cruz de la Sierra and the Institut pour la photographie in Lille. In 2026 he was awarded the City of Nantes’ Special Jury Prize for Visual Arts.
