Artist and poet, Sandra Lorenzi questions our relationship to environments as a substrate historical and political, as well as fertile territory, inhabited by a multiplicity of beings. Designed from material, energetic or symbolic entities apparently foreign to each other (figures, objects, architectures, plant species, minerals ...), her drawings, sculptures and installations lead us to compose alternative stories to the "great history". 

She deploys a restorative work where issues of "taking care" are central. Through her exhibitions, she reinvents tools and concepts of this reconstruction. Intended for orality, her practice of "Les Odes PhilosOphiques" finds an echo to this memorial approach liberated from limiting form, open to senses and imagination. From her writings, characters arise, witnesses of a "subtle comedy", living together to renew poetic of existence. 

Sandra Lorenzi creates worlds, deploys archetypal and original forms, between history and philosophy, knowledge and imagination, like antechambers of reality. To penetrate these "interzones" is to cross an initiatory experience where the loss of reference leads to shake up established values. 

Sandra Lorenzi graduated from the National School of Art at Villa Arson (Nice) in 2009. Her work has since been shown in institutions and galleries in France and abroad (Italy, Greece, South Africa, Germany ...). She was in charge of higher education at the Institute Superior of Arts in Toulouse from 2012 to 2019. She teaches now at the Superior School of Arts in Annecy Alps. She is also an artist-researcher for the "Laboratoire Espace Cerveau" of the Institute of Contemporary Art in Villeurbanne.
