Born in 1973, Juliette
Agnel lives and works in Paris. After completing two degrees at the
University of Paris 1 (arts in 1995 and ethno-aesthetics in 1997), she
continued her studies at the Paris “Beaux-Arts” (National School of Fine Arts),
from which she graduated with honours in 2000.
Her encounter with
Jean Rouch led her to spend more than ten years on the roads of Africa, from
1995. It was during her first trip that she stopped painting and started using
photography and film as media.
In 2003, she took part
in the adventure of la Génerale, in the Belleville area of Paris, and
the development of its photographic laboratory. She then travelled to Korea,
where she exhibited her photographs and shot a series of view-camera and
Polaroid portraits of women in her husband’s family.
With her digital “camera
obscura”, invented and produced in 2011 to film “pinhole time” at the Maison
du Geste et de l’Image (writing with light residency, DRAC Ile de France),
she produced several series in photography and video (see
vimeo/julietteagniel), including the Éblouis performance which she staged on
multiple occasions, among which “Photo OFF” at La Bellevilloise in 2012
with Lydie Trigano.
In 2012 and 2013, she was
presented by Galerie Françoise Paviot for the night openings during the FIAC
art fair. Her work was exhibited at the Isabelle Gounod gallery (curated by
Leah Bismuth) in the “Nouvelle vague dans tout Paris” exhibition; she obtained
a residency in Norway, some of the images of which were shown in the Espace
des Blancs Manteaux, one of the FIAC’s alternative venues in
2013.
