JULIE PEIFFER

Julie Peiffer is a French photographic artist born in Nancy in 1967. She lives and works in France.

After an earlier career in the press, she has developed an authorial photographic practice since 2020.

Her work explores the relationships between body, memory, alteration and landscape. From intimate scenes to the territories she photographs today, she is interested in what unsettles our perception of reality. Surfaces, thresholds, reflections and erasures run through her images, rendering the visible unstable.

This focus on alteration has gradually shifted from the photographed subject to the image itself and its materiality, through long-term series in which experiments with the photographic support question the stability of the photographic image.

In 2026, Julie Peiffer was awarded the InCadaqués Women’s Photography Prize (Fisheye × InCadaqués). A finalist for the SAIF × Les Femmes s’exposent Prize in 2024 and 2026, she received an individual creation grant from the City of Nancy in 2025.

Her work is held in the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès collection, as well as in private collections in France and internationally.
