Capucine Vever

Capucine Vever (born in 1986 in Paris, lives and works in Bobigny, France) develops a contextual work based on the notion of the invisible, the inaccessible and the imperceptible. Whether geographical, social and/or cultural, the territory is at the center of her artistic approach. Her approach seeks to establish a poetic relationship with each place, exploring the narrative potential unique to every space. Her works are built through collages and analogies, in a constant interplay between reality and fiction, scientific research and storytelling, cartography and legend, movement and stillness.
 
Her work has been exhibited in numerous art institutions, both in France and internationally. Recent exhibitions include: the Chapelle de l’Oratoire at the Musée d’Arts de Nantes (2025), the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Caen (2025), the Grantham Foundation for Art and the Environment (Quebec, 2025), La Graineterie – Contemporary Art Center of the City of Houilles (2024), the IMAGE/IMATGE Art Center (Orthez, 2022), Frac Grand Large – Hauts-de-France (Dunkirk), Frac Pays de la Loire (Carquefou, 2024), the Château d’Oiron (Deux-Sèvres, 2022), La Ferme du Buisson (Noisiel, 2022), the Museu d’Història de Catalunya (Barcelona, 2020), the Nam June Paik Art Center (Seoul, 2016), La Halle des Bouchers Art Center (Vienne, 2017), and Passerelle Contemporary Art Center (Brest, 2015).
 
Her work has been recognized with several awards and grants, including the Prix Lacourière, the COAL Prize (2022), the STAMPA Grant (2022), the Michel Nessim Boukris Prize, the Sur Mesure Plus+ Grant (2021), the Art and Environment Prize (2021), the DICRéAM Grant (2020, 2021), and the OVNI Prize (2019). Her works are included in the collections of Frac Grand Large – Hauts-de-France, the BNF (French National Library), the Departmental Council of Seine-Saint-Denis, the Pau Béarn Midi-Pyrénées Collection, as well as in several private collections.
