Alice JL Pierre is a photo-based multimedia artist, writer, freelance professional photographer and researcher based in Paris (France). Her background is in Art History, Literature, Philosophy and Creative Writing. She is in the process of completing a practice-based PhD research on the subject of Photoliterature in relation to Performance and Narrative Art, Bodywriting and Life writing.
​
Alice's work is developed around the relationship between the human body, photography and text, exploring the themes of memory (as well as partial and complete loss of memory), family history, trauma and relationships through Photoliterature, Narrative Art, Life writing and Performance Art.
​
As a freelance photographer, Alice explores the capacities of the human body through dance, body painting, fashion and portraiture, using it as a canvas for emotions and artistic expression. ​
