Pauli Bertholon (b. 1992, lives and works bewteen Paris & Bagnolet) is a French artist with a background in art history and social sciences researches, who explores the complexities of queer & crip identity at the intersections of time, memory, and self-construction. Using various media and with a particular interest in archives, they employ the concept of lack as a driver of desire, seeking to challenge dominant narratives about gender and sexuality.
Their work has been shown at Pojektraum Dose (Germany, 2025), pal projects gallery (Paris, 2024, 2022), Turner House gallery (Wales, 2023), Confort Moderne (Poitiers, 2022), Espace Voltaire (Paris, 2022), and Espace Reuilly (Paris, 2024).
