Aude Verbrugge
Born in 1987, in Gien, France
Lives and works in Brooklyn, NY
Aude Verbrugge’s practice centers on architecture as an emotional, psychological, and metaphysical structure. Through painting and installation, she constructs spaces marked by absence, interiors without figures, where desire and control are embedded in form rather than narrative.
Her work draws from architectural typologies, religious iconography, personal memory, and cinematic language to produce places that feel staged yet unstable.
Situated between the archaic and the futuristic, these environments function as suspended zones—neither past nor present—where time folds, space hesitates, and meaning refuses to settle.
These spaces operate as psychological sites rather than physical ones. Architecture becomes a carrier of belief, trauma, and time.
