Sarah Marguier (b. 1987) is an independent French artist, photographer and researcher currently based in the Pacific Northwest while creating and presenting work internationally.
Her work centers around the expressions of the moving body and the ever-evolving stories and encounters that emerge from it. Polyamorous in art, she works within a hybrid artistic approach, which she describes as an archipelago: a myriad of permeable and creative ecosystems that nourish and inform each medium. She is working as a photographer, designer, and artistic collaborator on many creatives processes.
She collaborates with movement and the image as a sensitive and sensible material, aiming to do so from a place of emotional vulnerability and creating space(s) to dive into the presences around her, exploring the layered and intermediates territories that arise during the creative processes. These zones of permeability, transcendence, and poesy. Particularly, she is interested in the creative process in itself as a commitment of the body and mind and as the center to which she grounds her artistic approach: a practice of listening to the moment(s) in space and time.
Sarah is the recipient of the CT+CR Program Award and the Arché Award and she has received support from the Regional Culture and Council, Oregon Arts Commission, OFAJ, Portland Emerging Art Leaders, to name a few. Her work has been presented, in residency and supported by: Disjecta (Light Conversation Exhibition), Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (TBA Press Corps Photographer), Caldera Residency CT+CR Colloquium (USA), Culture Mill (USA), and Arte Ginestrelle Studio (Italy), among others.
In 2016, she went on tour with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band for The River Tour ‘16 as part of the production team. They toured all over Europe, the USA, Australia, and New Zealand in a whirlwind of a year.
