Read MoreCarole Sionnet shown her exhibitions at the Center Pompidou Paris, UK, USA, Morocco, Turkey, Japan… Her photographs have been exhibited in museums, institutions and in galleries. She was laureate of artist residencies in Portugal, Japan, USA, Morocco and France... She works on solo and also with the drawer PieR Gajewski (called LA VILLE BLEUE). Favoring her artwork as a photographer for several years, Carole Sionnet has also made films. They have been presented in official selections at festivals in Brazil, Germany, Austria, Spain, Japan, USA.
During many years, Carole Sionnet practiced street photography in megalopolis (New York, Istanbul, Kyoto…). She worked on urban landscapes seeking for people in the city. For 4 years, she’s mainly focusing her artwork on French natural landscapes (and back to the countryside where she grew up). Through various environments (plains, mountain, marsh, valley…) she tackles themes such as the horizon, water, landscape in motion or the landscape intimacy. Even with nature, trees, plants, she’s interested in subject in its environment.
