Native of the Lower St. Lawrence region in Quebec, Canada, Marie-Josée Roy lives and works in Montreal since 1989. After studying Fine Arts, she chose photography which allows her to develop projects mostly based on the identity and the notion of displacement. For her, photography becomes an excuse to meet people and interact with them. Through her work, the objective is not to reproduce the reality of what she sees or hears but to fabricate another based on her personal experience. The gesture of taking a picture then becomes the evidence of a common experience. Marie-Josée Roy photographs have been shown mostly in Canada, France and Germany.
