Laurence Aëgerter

Laurence Aëgerter (born 1972 in Marseille) is a French artist, resident of Amsterdam and Marseille. She works with photography, artist books and projects in public space. In her artistic research, Aëgerter often uses existing images or text material, creating alternatives of historical and contemporary cultural products.[1] In her award-winning 2016 work, Photographic Treatment ©, Aëgerter sought to engage and connect with individuals with dementia through the pairing of visually similar yet distinct photographs.[2]
