Cyane Findji’s interdisciplinary practice uses documentary filmmaking as a process-based methodology to weave artistic and scientific inquiry into layered ecological narratives. She traces connections between human-and-other bodies across water environments, from ocean to glaciers. Through collaborations, fieldwork and site-sensitive approaches, her practice follows relational, feminist and multispecies frameworks.
Her latest short documentary film Amphibia (2024), tells the story of a young marine biologist who encounters her amphibious self while performing fieldwork in the shallow waters of the Baltic Sea Archipelago. The process of making the film led her to write Home Shores (MA thesis, 2024) which investigates how documentary fieldwork can serve as both a method and a context to engage with the complex narratives of contemporary environmental crises.
With Findji+Gras, she is currently directing a short documentary film entitled Flowers of the Glacier (2026), which focuses on three generations of women scientists encountering over the discovery of a forgotten herbarium, and the surrounding multispecies ecologies amid the melting glaciers of Arctic Sweden.
She recently graduated with an MA in Visual Cultures, Curating and Contemporary Art from Aalto University, Helsinki (FI) in 2024. Previously, she completed a BA in Fine Arts from ECAL/University of Art and Design, Lausanne (CH) followed by a curatorial internship at MAMCO/Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Geneva (CH).
In parallel to her artistic practice she has worked as a curator and producer, on art events such as *intent* (2024), Helsinki Biennial Art Mediation Forum (2023) and Elon Kierre (2022). She also works as a museum technician and art handler since 2023.
