Sarah Wendt, from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, is a multidisciplinary artist. Trained in contemporary dance, voice and French horn, her work spans choreography, performance, sound, and installation. Before beginning her collaboration with Pascal Dufaux, she presented performances at venues and festivals including Galerie de l’UQAM, OFFTA (Montréal), l’Œil de Poisson (Quebec City), Encuentros (Hemispheric Institute), SappyFest (Sackville), Platform Young Performance Artists (Berlin), and Anode Festival (Melbourne).
Pascal Dufaux, born in Marseille, France, is a sculptor and media artist. Prior to collaborating with Sarah, he presented solo and group exhibitions across Canada and internationally, including at Mapping Festival in Geneva, Images Festival in Vevey, Switzerland, Lab30 in Augsburg, Germany, at the Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen in Innsbruck, Darling Foundry in Montreal, and Solway Gallery in Cincinnati.
They began merging their practices in 2017, forming the duo Wendt-Dufaux, which has since become the core of their artistic work. Their shared practice unfolds as a continuum of experiments, with themes evolving through mutual influence and exchange. Together, they create vibrant, tactile installations that invite audiences into their aesthetic world through multiple sensory pathways—sound, movement, image, and touch—offering layered points of entry into their ongoing investigations.
Their projects have been presented in museums, artist-run centres, and performance festivals across Canada, Europe, and the UK. Recent solo exhibitions include the Mountain moves while my fingernails grow presented at the Rooms - Provincial Art Gallery of Newfoundland and Labrador, Miel du Temps presented at the Musée d’art de Joliette, Études Ectoplasmiques presented as part of the Montreal Arts Council touring exhibitions (2024-25) and Clairière presented at CIRCA Art Actuel. Performances have been presented at Take Me Somewhere Festival, Glasgow, UK; FURIES Festival, Marsoui, QC; VIDEO///PLAY , Montreal and Brussels; Tangente Danse and the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal; at the Confederation Centre Art Gallery in Prince Edward Island; and at Theater Kampnagel in Hamburg, DE. They live and work in Tiohtiá:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal.
