SIDONIE RONFARD
Born in Paris in 1996, Sidonie Ronfard is a photographer and visual artist who graduated from ENSAD (photo-video sector).
She won the price dedicated to “La Jeune Photographie Européenne” in 2019 with her “Perte de feu” series, which features prints on transfer paper heat-pressed at 200 degrees. This was her first exhibition at the Cité des Arts in Paris.
In 2019, she takes part in the Master Photography program at Aalto University in Finland. A collaboration is born with the Ways of knowing collective, which then gives rise to two exhibitions: one in Tampere, Finland, and the other at the Neurotitan gallery in Berlin in 2022. The same year, Sidonie takes part in an artistic residency aboard the Marion Dufresne in collaboration with IFREMER. Her work was exhibited at the Villa de la Région in Saint-Denis in 2023, a first look at the convergence between art and science.
In 2023, Sidonie was a finalist for the Prix AMMA (Prix pour l’Art Contemporain), an accolade combined with an exhibition at the Bastille Design Center in Paris. This experience enabled her to delve deeper into the notions of transparency and superimposition with an installation combining metal structure, sublimation and transfer paper, “Emotional overlap II”.
Every ordinary object or face she encounters becomes a source of inspiration. Her work focuses on creating universal moods around textures, sensations and intuitions. Still lifes become evocative scenes, and portraits, windows into thoughts. The viewer is invited to contemplate the invisible, the matter that envelops us.
His artistic approach is part of a dialogue between human perception and that which eludes us. What are the true limits of vision, intuition and emotion?
