Sophie Fauchier, a French native, specialises in fine art and documentary photography.
Her interest in photography developed in workshops with Mark Osterman, the modern master of historic photographic processes and Magnum photographer Antoine d’Agata’s “the private diary” that extended the limits of her photographic approach, encouraging her to confront her obsessions and contradictions to shape images of herself in fictional terms. In these constructed narratives, she visits all different rooms of a woman’s life.

Along with these introspective journeys, she travels to collect visual stories for documentary and humanitarian thematic such as orphans’ victims of Aids in Kenya, landmines victims in Bosnia and more recently secondary education for child brides in Rajasthan. All these experiences lead her into a new narrative about being a woman as mother, as daughter even in a more complex context.

Settled in Venice for the last 5 years, her new documentary project explores the duality that Venice faced during the Covid-19 pandemic.
