Lecture by Juliette Suchel

On Tuesday, 24 November 2026 at 12:15 pm, imagespassages in Annecy welcomes artist Juliette Suchel for a public lecture. Based between France and the United Kingdom, Suchel works across photography, video, ceramics, and documentary research.

Her practice explores the intersections of image-making, political engagement, documentary narratives, and speculative fiction. Drawing on personal and collective archives, particularly colonial archives, she examines the power structures embedded in images and narratives while imagining new forms of care, repair, and territorial reappropriation.

Developed through collaborations with scientists, botanists, and local communities, her research engages with ecological, social, and postcolonial questions. Her current work focuses on the relationship between plants and photography through alternative photographic processes and plant-based developers that replace conventional chemical substances.

By considering plants as active collaborators in image production, Suchel proposes new ways of understanding the connections between photography, territory, and the living world. In autumn 2026, she will undertake a research residency with imagespassages, supported by the Haute-Savoie Department.
