Juliette Agnel’s photographic work reveals the invisible presences that inhabit our world. Extreme landscapes in Greenland, the depths of a prehistoric cave and archeological sites in Sudan become points of passage from which telluric powers emerge. By making images of these terrestrial scenes, she puts us in relation with another world.

Juliette Agnel, born in 1973, is a photographer trained in the visual arts and ethno-aesthetics, influenced by the work of Jean Rouch and the stories of Victor Segalen. After years of exploration in Africa, she developed an experimental photographic practice, combining blur and randomness to evoke human memory. Her encounter with the Bardenas desert in 2016 inspired Les Nocturnes, a celestial series exhibited at Rencontres d'Arles, extended by projects such as La lune noire. Her work, focused on the links between man and landscapes (Greenland, Sudanese necropolises, prehistoric caves), was awarded the Prix Niépce in 2023. In 2024, her work will be shown at the BnF, the Jeu de Paume and the Fondation Van Gogh.
