Profile
Anne Attali creates maps, designs walks, writes and lectures on experiencing the city. Her work is often cross-disciplinary and collaborative.
She has an MA in Scenography from ENSAD in Paris and spent a year in residence at the Villa Medici (Prix de Rome).
She currently teaches at Parsons Paris and ENSAD. She also taught at IIT Paris Program for over 10 years, and has given courses, workshops and lectures on “Urban Exploration” to art and architecture students in a number of French and international schools.
Additionally, she works on film/theater projects: ongoing collaboration with Cécile St Paul, including Upcoming Tragedy (after Hamlet), a 16mm film and series of theater performances (2016-19).
She also works on illustrated books with Marie Van Roey: Willie est Willie, text by Gertrude Stein (2010), and Solid Objects, text by Virginia Woolf (2020), both published by Esperluète éditions. An exhibition around Solid Objects was organized in 2021 at the Ecole des Mines's Library with the collaboration of the Musée de Minéralogie, showing original drawings, photographs, objects and maps.
Other projects include pen and ink drawings created for the short film Making the Case, directed by Jennifer Callahan (2021), and participation in a performance series organized by Antoinette Ohanessian at the Laboratoires d'Aubervilliers, on the theme “Work and Language” (2023-ongoing).
She is currently working on Broadway Crossing - an archival project, a photographic investigation contrasting 2 walks, 30 years apart.
