Chloe Sharrock, Photographer

Après des études d’histoires de l’art et de cinéma (esthétique et documentaire) durant lesquelles je me spécialise sur la représentation de la violence notamment dans la peinture baroque, je me lance dans la photographie en 2017 et décide de me pencher sur les sociétés post-conflictuelles, notamment au Moyen- Orient, afin de documenter la brutalité humaine sous toutes ses formes. En 2019, mon engagement pour les femmes m'emmène en Inde pour le projet “Sugar Girls” sur les hystérectomies forcées, qui sera exposé à Visa pour L’image et recompensé par des bourses de la Scam, du CNAP et de Visa Pour L’image l'année suivante. Le 27 février 2022, je suis envoyée couvrir la guerre en Ukraine pour le journal Le Monde. Cette couverture prendra fin un an plus tard, en avril 2023. Poussée par un besoin de repenser autrement les représentations des conflits, mon travail s’orienter depuis vers une dimension plasticienne. Je continue en parallèle un projet documentaire au long cours sur les traumatismes en Irak et couvre en parallèle des sujets de sociétés pour la presse française et internationale. Mon travail a été récompensé par des bourses du CNAP (2020), la SCAM (2020), du Ministère de la Culture et Visa pour L’image (2020) ainsi que de la BNF (2023). Il a également été exposé en France (Visa Pour L’Image, Haos Galerie, Festival d’Arles, Gaité Lyrique...) et à l’international (Kawasaki Peace Museum, Musée National de l’Artillerie de Turin, Museumquartier Osnabruck en Allemagne...) et est publié régulièrement dans des médias tels que Le Monde, Libération ou encore le Washington Post. Je rejoins l’agence MYOP en juillet 2021
