Biography
Frédérique Lagny lives and works in France (Marseille) and West Africa (Burkina Faso). Having originally studied Painting at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, she later obtained a license from the UFR of Cinema and Audiovisual studies at the University of Paris III-Sorbonne. She won the prize for Painting from the City of Vitry-sur-Seine in 1987, and from the Fondation des Beaux-Arts in 1988. Various private and public art collectors - in particular the City of Paris - acquired these paintings. Since 1997 she has directed her artistic practice solely toward photography, extended to film with Vanishing Point (video triptych, 20', 2009) and A qui appartiennent les pigeons ? (film, 39', 2013).
