About
Isabelle Mae-Yen Bredt is an artist, filmmaker, and curator based in Montréal. Her work explores how images transcend physicality, existing simultaneously as objects and memory. She holds a BFA in Photography from Concordia University (2021) and recently completed her first short film Perfect Apple (2025). Her work has been exhibited across Montréal, including at Livart Centre d’Art, Maison de la culture Janine-Sutto as part of MOMENTA, and independent venues such as Centre du RAT and Espace Lou Lou. Alongside her artistic practice, she teaches youth at the Visual Arts Centre and develops community-based and curatorial projects, including an upcoming residency at Céline Bureau.
