Lecture by Sarah Battaglia

On Tuesday, 27 October 2026 at 12:15 pm, imagespassages in Annecy welcomes artist Sarah Battaglia for a public lecture. For more than a decade, Battaglia has collected, drawn, cast, and shaped organic and plant-based remains. Her work explores the subtle relationship between the inert and the living, engaging with the traces and mysteries of the natural world.

Bones, feathers, hair, and plant fragments become vehicles for reflecting on transformation, disappearance, and memory. Through these materials, the artist examines our relationship with living beings and what remains of animal and human presence over time.

Battaglia works with media that involve processes of metamorphosis. Printmaking, ceramics, knitting, and writing allow her to engage in a dialogue with matter, its forms, its traces, and its absences. She also collaborates regularly with contemporary poets, contributing drawings to artists’ books, publications, and the Livres Pauvres series.

This lecture offers an opportunity to discover a poetic and sensitive practice that investigates the connections between nature, the body, memory, and transformation.
