Pauline Curnier Jardin is an artist working across film, installation, performance, and drawing. Her outstanding cinematic installations create unorthodox universes and tell stories, thus proposing alternative narratives. 

She co-founded the Feel Good Cooperative with the help of photographer and sex worker Alexandra Lopez, and architect and academic Serena Olcuire during the Spring 2020 lockdown in Rome. The Cooperative is a collective comprising Colombian trans sex workers and their allies. Members are varying according to the different projects. The core of the Cooperative now consists of Alexandra Lopez, Gilda Star, Giuliana Mira, Pauline Curnier Jardin, Serena Olcuire and Martina Silvi. Recognizing art as a powerful space for expression and economic empowerment, Feel Good Cooperative aims to uplift subjectivities that have historically faced marginalization, stigma, and exclusion from self-representation.  The works of the Feel Good Cooperative have been exhibited in several cities, including New York, Helsinki, Paris, Rome, Berlin, Genoa, Bonn and Cologne.
