Julien Vallée
Visual storyteller, Vallée Duhamel Montréal, Canada

United by a shared fascination with turning the ordinary into the extraordinary, Julien Vallée and Eve Duhamel (of Vallée Duhamel) see the world as a giant playground.

In their work, Vallée Duhamel craft whimsical and unrealistic scenarios across various mediums like video and installation. Characters find themselves in spaces that challenge the norm, adapting and behaving in delightfully unexpected ways. The duo’s goal? To inject fun and surprise into the everyday.

Julien will be sharing their approach that goes beyond the conventional, allowing the mind to make connections where logic might hesitate. In a society grounded in common sense, Julien will invite you to explore another angle, to break free from the expected.
