Based in Paris

Anne-Lise Broyer was born 1975 near Macon, France, and now lives and works in Paris. She is a French visual artist whose work blends photography, drawing, and literature, weaving those three forms of expression into a powerful language.

A graduate of the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Decoratifs (ENSAD), she creates what she calls "photographic literature" - visual works inspired by texts, often incorporating graphite drawing onto photographs that are meant to evoke, rather than document. Broyer's work has been exhibited widely in France, including at the Chateau de Tours and the Centre d'art contemporain de Pontmain. In 2024, she received the Prix Niepce, and in 2023, she was the first laureate of the photographic residency at the Musee de l'Armee. In 2025, she won a major commission from the French Ministry of Culture to reinvent photography' for the bicentenary of the first photograph in France.

For the 2025 Amalia Gardens Residency "Aligned to the Horizon" she will be continuing her series Est-ce la que l'on habitait ? (Is this where we have lived?), an ongoing project supported by CNAP (National Center of Plastic Arts). This series' pensive images are open to many interpretations and make us see the Mediterranean in all its forms.
