Alice Pallot FR, b. 1995
Alice Pallot (FR, 1995) lives and works between Paris and Brussels (FR/BE).
She studied photography at ENSAV La Cambre (Brussels, BE), where she earned a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree with honors in 2018. She also studied at ECAL in Switzerland in 2017 as part of an exchange program. That same year, she won the Roger De Conynck Prize.
Since then, she has exhibited in international institutions and galleries.
In 2022, she participated in the Résidence 1+2, a residency that fosters dialogue between photography and science. It is within this framework that she developed the series Algues Maudites in collaboration with the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). From 2023 to 2025, she will present the project Algues Maudites, a sea of tears in 65 exhibitions worldwide, including the Foto Rio festival curated by Jean-Luc Monterosso, the Photo Climat Biennale in Paris, as well as the exhibition Science/Fiction, Une Non-Histoire des Plantes in Paris at the MEP, and the exhibition Beyond the Frame as part of the EMOP days at the MNAH museum in Luxembourg, curated by Ruud Priem.
Alice Pallot has also published the following books: Land (2016), Himero (2020), Suillus (2021, reprinted 2022), Algues maudites, a sea of tears (Area Books, 2023), and Red Bloom (The Eyes Publishing, 2024).
In April 2024, Alice Pallot won the Rencontres de la Jeune Photographie Internationale award at Villa Perochon and the Nouvelles Écritures de la Photographie Environnementale prize, presented by La Gacilly and Leica. In November 2024, the three distinct parts of Algues maudites were featured in an exhibition at the Leica Gallery in Paris in collaboration with the European Space Agency, and the book Red Bloom was published by The Eyes Publishing.
The three parts of Algues maudites were presented at Paris Photo during a solo exhibition with Hangar Gallery in the Emerging section.
In 2024–2025, Alice Pallot received a grant from the CNAP to support her artistic project, Là-haut. Alice Pallot is also a winner of the photography and science competition organized by the CNRS to join a mission with scientists in the world’s largest cedar forest in Morocco to track groups of monkeys, a species that serves as an indicator of the forest’s condition.
Alice Pallot is the winner of the 2025 Clim’Art Prize with the Andurand Foundation.
In July 2026, she will exhibit the Oasis series as part of the official program of the Rencontres de la Photographie d’Arles, in the exhibition Flower Power, curated by Michel Poivert and Beata Nowak. Alice Pallot is represented by Hangar Gallery, Brussels, BE, and is a member of the Tendance Floue collective.

Luxembourg Art Week 2025 - Booth D07
Kira Krász / Alice Pallot / Laure Winants 21 - 23 Nov 2025Hangar Gallery is part of Luxembourg art week 2025. TakeOff Sector / Stand D07. For Take Off 2025, Hangar Gallery presents three emerging women photographers under 35, exploring Time and Nature. Each artist developed their series over years, reflecting deeply on the medium of photography. Their distinctive works, often unique pieces, blend technique and message, focusing on an ecology of the image and images of ecology—a vision Hangar Gallery promotes. Kíra Krász reconnects human and natural timelines. She creates collages from vintage photos, placing human structures inside trees. Or she revisits an abandoned Hungarian sculpture park, once a symbol of rebellion, pondering on the life circle of art. Alice Pallot’s Algues Maudites is an anticipatory documentary on algae pollution in Brittany, mixing untouched photos with on-site elements used as color filters and prints altered by algae. Also creating a dialogue between art and science, Laure Winants’ Time Capsule captures Arctic ice and light changes, exploring more-than-human time through photographic experiments.Read more -
Paris Photo 2024
Alice Pallot / Algues Maudites 7 - 10 Nov 2024Hangar Gallery was present at the 27th Edition of Paris Photo with the artist Alice Pallot. Alice Pallot’s anticipatory documentary, produced in collaboration with scientists (CNRS, Résidence 1+2, Villa Perochon) since 2022, focuses on the proliferation of green algae in Brittany. This phenomenon, caused by waste from intensive agriculture and climate change, is a real environmental and health problem. As the algae decompose, they release a noxious and deadly gas called H2S. Imbued with a science-fictional imagination, Algues Maudites combines different visual experiments to materialise this hidden problem. Using rubbish gleaned on the spot as photographic filters, Alice Pallot creates intriguing images, sensitive observations without retouching. Immersed in baths of algae, some unique prints bear the marks of this pollution. With Algues Maudites, the artist summons up the narrative power of photography to inspire empathy and project us into a world of possibilities, enabling us to take action in favour of living beings.
