Carolle Sanchez’s conceptual and visual practice explores regimes of appropriation, shifting figures of authorship, collective memory, and the forms of erasure, withdrawal, or dissemination. Rooted in a practice of research-creation at the intersection of law, art, and writing, she constructs frameworks that question the fictions of law as much as those of art.
Archives, collective works, anonymity — her pieces, whether textual, visual, or sound-based installations, create tensions between voices, presence and absence, traces and effacement. They displace creation into polymorphic, elusive forms, often collective, sometimes orphaned.
Trained in copyright law and, more broadly, in intellectual property law, Carolle Sanchez is also a lawyer at the Paris and New York bars. This legal grounding informs her artistic practice without containing it — it sharpens its lines of flight, its rigor, and its unruliness.
Her work is regularly shown in exhibitions curated by the collective in.plano, of which she is an active member. Most recently, she was an artist-in-residence at the Ferme du Buisson Art Center in Noisiel (2024–2025), and she exhibited her work at Le 6b, Center for Creation and Dissemination in Saint-Ouen (2024), at the exhibition Multiple x Multiple at Galerie Michel Journiac (2022), and at the 66th edition of the Salon de Montrouge (2022), as part of in.plano’s invited program.
She lives and works in Paris.
