Sophie Ristelhueber

Née en 1949 à Paris où elle vit et travaille.

Depuis près de trente ans, Sophie Ristelhueber poursuit une réflexion sur le territoire et son histoire, au travers d’une approche singulière des ruines et des traces laissées par l’Homme dans des lieux dévastés par la guerre ou par des bouleversements naturels et culturels. Loin du photoreportage classique, elle s’attache à la mise à nu des faits et à l’empreinte de l’histoire, dans les corps et dans les paysages, en rendant visibles plaies et cicatrices, véritables mémoires des « faits » de l’histoire.

Si elle a essentiellement recours à la photographie dans son travail, Sophie Ristelhueber utilise ses prises de vues pour créer des oeuvres plastiques à part entière, jouant sur la matière et le format de l’image, son statut, son cadre et son installation dans l’espace.

Son travail a été présenté dans de nombreuses institutions internationales parmi lesquelles le MoMA (New  York,  US), le Museum of Fine Arts (Boston, US), le ZKM (Karlsruhe, GE), l’Albright-Knox Art Gallery (Buffalo, US), The Power Plant (Toronto, CA), la Tate Modern (Londres, GB), l’Imperial War Museum (Londres,  GB),  les biennales de Johannesburg,  Sao Paulo,  la Triennale de Etchigo-Tsumari, les Rencontres Photographiques d’Arles, et à Paris le MNAM – Centre Pompidou, laGalerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume, le Musée Zadkine, Musée Rodin, le Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris MAMVP, etc.

Les oeuvres de Sophie Ristelhueber sont conservées dans de nombreuses  collections publiques, dont le Museum of Fine Art (Boston, US), l’Albright-Knox Art Gallery (Buffalo, US), la National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa, CA), le MNAM – Centre Georges-Pompidou (Paris, FR), le Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, (Paris, FR), le Victoria & Albert Museum (Londres, GB),  la Maison Européenne de  la Photographie (Paris, FR),  la Bibliothèque Nationale (Paris, FR), le Fonds National  d’Art  Contemporain (FR) et différents Fonds Régionaux d’Art Contemporain  (Bretagne, Haute Normandie,  Basse Normandie, Corse, PACA).
