Monnet is a multi-disciplinary contemporary artist and filmmaker based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She grew up between the Celtic coasts of France in Douarnenez and the Algonquin territory of Outaouais, Québec, and much of her work explores her Algonquin (Quebec) and French (France) dual heritage.[2][3] She is the younger sister of artist and playwright Émilie Monnet.[4]
Monnet began her film career making short films. In 2010, Caroline Monnet released the short film Warchild, which made its debut at the Présence Authochtone Montréal First Peoples' Festival in August 2011.[6] In 2012, Monnet released Gephyrophobia, a short film about two individuals sharing the Outaouais River that was featured at Talent Tout court at Cannes Film Festival.[1] In 2014, Monnet's short film, The Black Case, was screened at the Vancouver Latin American Film Festival; this piece uses inspiration from real events to demonstrate the unbearable traumas experienced in residential schools.[7]
Her first feature film entitled Bootlegger produced by Microclimat Films was selected for both CineMart and Berlinale Co-Production Market 2016.[13][14] She was the first Canadian filmmaker selected for the 33rd session of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival's Cinéfondation residency in Paris (from October 2016 to February 2017).[15] Monnet is also a founding member of the Aboriginal digital arts collective ITWÉ.[16]
In 2017, Monnet released her documentary entitled Emptying the Tank through CBC.[17]
Monnet is primarily a self-taught artist.[20] This allows her to approach her art with a level of freedom and naivety. Although Monnet wishes she had returned to school to pursue her arts, she strongly believes that the most valuable lessons are not taught in school.[1] She is widely known for her sculpting, work in film and installation. Her journey with art began in hopes to reclaim her aboriginal identity in which she has suppressed throughout her life.[21]
Monnet's work in film, painting, and sculpture deals with complex ideas around Indigenous identity and bicultural living through the examination of cultural histories.[22] She is interested in themes of identity, representation, and modernity.[20] Monnet has made a signature for working with industrial materials, combining the vocabulary of popular and traditional visual culture with the tropes of modernist abstraction to create unique hybrid forms.[20]
