SHANNA WAROCQUIER
Shanna Warocquier is a visual artist and photographer based in Paris. Her work explores the relationship between human beings and their environment, from the macrocosm to bodily perceptions, considering the image as a circulating material. Produced, collected, and then transformed, it reconfigures itself in various forms—video, sculpture, installation, or screen painting—to give rise to unstable visual spaces made of fragmented presences, evocative landscapes, and traces of humanity. Between appearance and disappearance, her images become surfaces of memory in flux.
A 2024 graduate of ENSAD (photography and video) after a year at Aalto University in Helsinki, she has developed a hybrid practice encompassing still and moving images, informed by residencies and exhibitions in France and internationally. Her work has been presented in Paris and Helsinki, among other venues. She was a finalist for the Prix Dauphine d'Art Contemporain and a recipient of the Martell Foundation's Research and Creation Residency (Biennale du Vivant). She also collaborates with figures in fashion, music, and publishing, such as Off-White, Le 19M, and the Pernod Ricard Foundation.
The series *I wake up but you're not there* is part of a reflection on feminism and a form of irrationality linked to its practice. Born during a residency in Hungary bringing together seven female artists, it explores how to make visible the intimate and sensitive dimensions of experience. In this isolation within a natural environment, a community of sisterhood forms through shared narratives. Nature becomes an extension of the body, a space where presences are reenacted and where images emerge as traces of collective experience and perception.
