Paul Beaudoin is an interdisciplinary artist and composer based in Tallinn, Estonia. His work moves across moving image, sound, photography, painting, text, and installation, often beginning with fragments: degraded footage, unstable signals, field recordings, found images, remembered places.
Across these media, Beaudoin examines memory, transmission, disappearance, duration, and the instability of archives. Images and sounds erode, repeat, mutate, and accumulate. Rather than treating each medium as a separate discipline, he approaches them as different ways of testing how meaning survives change.
His recent work explores damaged images, queer memory, technological failure, public space, listening, and the uncertain boundary between document and invention. Many projects unfold slowly, asking the viewer to remain with ambiguity rather than resolve it.
Beaudoin's work has been presented internationally across galleries, museums, festivals, public spaces, and experimental music contexts. Recent presentations include Vabaduse Gallery in Tallinn, Telliskivi Creative City Open Gallery, FluxusMuseum in Paros, ON SCREEN, Punto y Raya Festival, Altered Images Film and Music Festival, and moving image presentations in Santiago and Tbilisi.
His work is represented in the Museum of Communist Crimes collection in Tallinn. He was a Fulbright Scholar in Estonia and has been an artist-in-residence at the MacDowell Colony and the Alice Boner Institute in Varanasi, India.
He lives and works in Tallinn.
