Gorge Bataille
She works with critical and pirate prose that blends social introspection, manifestos, political reflections and love poems. Her readings are revolutionary and schoolboyish moments in which patriarchal institutions are rigorously destroyed. The artist's primary targets are exploitative relationships on an emotional level, as well as class struggle and identity issues. With Fiévreuse plébéienne (2022, Édition ducommun), she introduces what she calls ‘Langue Bâtarde’ (Bastard Language), a proletarian, sexual, threatening and lesbian form of poetry. She likes to take poetry out of its usual setting and performs alone or in groups in lesbian bars or contemporary art institutions. She collaborates with sound artists, is part of the RER Q collective of authors and regularly leads collective writing workshops. Her latest book, Fatal*e ou l'impossible phantasme, was published in spring 2025 by Trou noir.
