Vidya-Kelie Juganaikloo is a French-Mauritian transmedia artist, born in France, living and working in Paris.
Vidya-Kelie is a graduate of the Beaux-Arts in Angers, France.
Through sometimes interactive, sometimes contemplative experiences, the artist evokes the power of bodies, their interconnections, their capacities to transmit and receive in a biological, social or physical dimension.
By confusing the scales of time or space, she continues her work in which she puts in parallel what exceeds us and what we try to control.
Vidya-Kelie proposes a series of traces and exchanges around sensitive phenomena as tools of communication.
Her work explores concepts such as trust, law, beliefs, time, love, data, space, knowledge, memories, magnetism, passions (…) through conceptual works that unfold as intimate connections between the artist, the work and the viewer.
She develops her art/science practice around communication. Her productions, often interactive, are vehicles for poetising the complex relationships that humans have with their bodies and their environment.
The artist also questions the place we give to the « Process » before the « Objective ». Borrowing keys from applied philosophy, ecofeminism or linguistics, she is committed to its valorization and transmission.
