Alice Pallot FR, b. 1995
Alice Pallot uses photography to question the impact of human activity on the environment, creating images imbued with a science-fiction imaginary that reveal ecological phenomena and issues that often remain invisible.
Her projects develop through expeditions, experiments and investigations conducted alongside scientists and environmental researchers. By confronting scientific data with the materiality of the territories she explores, Pallot creates her own photographic language and questions the near future of our changing ecosystems. Playing with scale and the visual ambiguity generated by scientific tools, she creates unretouched images that reveal the unsettling beauty of natural environments transformed by the Anthropocene.
Education
Alice Pallot studied photography at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Visuels de La Cambre in Brussels, complemented by an exchange at ECAL in Switzerland in 2017.
Membership
Alice Pallot 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.
