Neige Sanchez (b. 1992) is a french-swiss transdisciplinary artist and photographer based in Geneva, Switzerland. Coming from the practice of photography, they have developed their work through image-making, performance, video, installation, text, sculpture and curation. Their research engages with technologies of representation and tensions between capture and in/visibility, intimate frictions and poetico-political fictions through a critical lense. Queerness, performativity, abstractions, potency of images, as well as haptic and multi-sensory relational modes are at the heart of their investigations.
Since 2022 they have been part of the curatorial team at eeeeh! art space in Nyon, and joined the Dyke-O-Rama collective in 2024. Between 2022 and 2023 they spent a 6-month residency in Berlin at ABA (Air Berlin Alexanderplatz), an artistic and research residency program supported by Pro Helvetia. Currently, they teach at HEAD–Genève (Genève, CH) and CEPV (Vevey, CH).
Their work has been shown in Switzerland, Germany, France and Greece: Centre de la Photographie Genève, Photoforum Pasqu’Art (Bienne, CH), Musée de l’Élysée/Photo Elysée (Lausanne, CH), Fotomuseum Winterthur (Winterthur, CH), The Queer Archive Festival (Athens, GRC), Galerie LAGE EGAL (Berlin, DE), Villa du parc - Centre d’Art contemporain (Annemasse, FR), among others.
