Sabine Pigalle

Born in Rouen in 1963, Sabine Pigalle is an artist who lives and works in Paris. She began her artistic career collaborating with fashion photographers such as Ellen von Unwerth, and has continued to focus on the photographic medium ever since. Her current work plays on the hybridization of themes and media, enabling her to question notions of myth, heritage, collective memory and temporality. These hybridizations have earned her association with the Post-photography movement, defined in 1988 by Joan Fontcuberta as "the act of either assigning meaning when images are created, or displacing meaning when these images are given new life". His work has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions around the world, including at Galerie Odile Ouizeman in Paris in 2021, Palazzo Bragadin in Venice in 2017 and Nexus Hall Chanel Ginza in Tokyo in 2014. Her In Memoriam series was exhibited at galerie RX in 2017, which currently represents her.
