About Alice Pallot

Alice Pallot is a French photographer who lives and works between Paris and Brussels. She studied at ENSAV La Cambre where she graduated both with a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in photography. She also studied at ECAL Lausanne in Switzerland during an exchange.

What makes her work stand out is the way she uses and plays with scales and textures, both in the format of her images and in the shots themselves. From very large formats to more discreet ones, all with shimmering, contrasting colours and sometimes close to monochrome, it immerses us completely in visual spaces she has managed to create.

Photographic approach of Alice Pallot

Pallot’s photographic approach focuses on the links between the sciences created by humans and the natural environments which are in a constant transformation. Through her various series of photographs, she mixes themes, spaces, and times in order to build a world of hybridization in which ecological issues resonate deeply. These questions also highlight the uncertain and enigmatic aspects of today's world.

Whether it's landscape, macro or also fashion commission photography, Alice Pallot's skill is always to conceive a singular universe for each of her series, and to bring meaning to each of them.

In her constant quest for experimentation, appropriation, exploitation and in a photographic approach that could also be described as committed, she makes her subjects her own and always reflects the current society in which she finds her path.

Exhibitions and Residencies

Her work has already been the subject of numerous exhibitions across Europe, notably in Belgium: from Brussels (Botanique, Bozar, Hangar, La Réserve, La Vallée) to Antwerp (Fotomuseum Antwerpen), passing through Liège (Biennale de l’Image Possible), but also in France (Arles, Marseille, Montpellier, Paris, Toulouse), in the Netherlands (Unseen Photo Fair Amsterdam) and in Italy (Camera, Turin).

Alice Pallot has also taken part in photo residencies in France and Belgium, including Laboratory of the Possible Image in Liège and Cité Maréchaire de Romainville in Paris.

Her work has been honoured by several awards and prizes, counting the TIFF program with FOMU (Fotomuseum Antwerpen) or the "Roger De Conynck's Price" from Foundation Roi Baudouin, Brussels.

Art Book publications by Alice Pallot

Alice Pallot also finds her artistic way into doing publications of art books such as “The series Oasis is part of Vegetal Trauma” (Cosa Mental Edition, 2019) or with “Suillius” that she self-published in 2021.

More recently her photobook “Algues Maudites, a sea of tears” has been published by Area Books, Paris (2023). Alternating between full-page landscapes, detailed views such as fragments, and almost microscopic views of textures such as photograms, this book offers us a glimpse and a photographic stroll into a unique, misty and suffocating atmosphere. Indeed, this project tackles the “disruption of the natural biome in the proliferation of vegetation” in the words of Michel Poivert, who wrote the preface.

Pallot’s art books, as well as her exhibitions, give an insight to an atypical vision of storytelling related to our time.
