Laurence Aëgerter

Laurence Aëgerter (born 1972 in Marseille) is a French artist, resident of Amsterdam and Marseille. Her work consists of photographic series, site-specific installations, community projects, tapestries and artist’s books. In her artistic research, Aëgerter often uses existing images or text material, creating alternatives of historical and contemporary cultural products.[1] In her award-winning 2016 work, Photographic Treatment, Aëgerter sought to engage and connect with individuals with dementia through the pairing of visually similar yet distinct photographs.[2][3]
