Paris, France. Photography, collage, sculpture, experimental cinema.

She studied Philosophy between 1991 and 1993 at the University of Paris. She continued her postgraduate studies in Anthropology at the University of Nanterre. She later studied art at the Fresnoy Studio National des Arts Contemporaines in Lille, France.

Her methodology is based on his academic training in humanistics, which led to his interest in travel as a way of knowing the world. Her artworks explore the politics of vision, believing that images and landscapes are inextricably linked to the historical, social, and cultural legacies that have created them. Through the connections between history and landscape, her works help us understand how our perception can be strongly influenced by pre-existing political and cultural conditions.

She currently lives and works in London. She grew up between the US, Morocco and France. Its wide range, which includes films, photographs, sculptures and works on paper, questions the ontology of images; that is, the position of the author and the viewer, as well as the cultural construction of the gaze.

The artist seeks to make people "think for themselves" to revolutionize the politics of power, and further suggests that such a process in itself could be considered a type of propaganda since it imposes its own limits on the viewer.

Her films, which are associated with experimental cinema and auteur cinema, move between the realms of fiction and non-fiction, which complicates the terms of both genres and categories. Her work questions the conventions of representation and deconstructs the usual point of view, wondering about the different possibilities of the camera. In this sense, the author summarizes her work as an investigation into what she calls the politics of vision. For Hugonnier it is a way of evaluating the distance from the subject, the way in which it is represented and how the viewer's reception is interpreted.

She works to recognize the fact that the viewer's perception is determined by their particular angle of observation; and she often uses this unavoidable aspect of visual experience as a metaphor for the inevitability of interpretive bias. In doing so, Hugonnier's art not only deconstructs how and what we visually perceive; it also illuminates the viewer's tendency to adapt to their predilections, circumscribing how and what they perceive analytically.

She has exhibited internationally, with solo exhibitions at Villa Romana (Florence), Kunstverein (Brauschweig, Germany), Die Tankstelle (Berlin), Konsthall Malmö, (Malmö, Sweden), Frac Champagne-Ardenne (Reims, France), Gallery Nogueras Blanchard (Barcelona) and the 2007 Venice Biennale. Hugonnier's works have been widely exhibited over the last fifteen years, including in exhibitions at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul; The BALTIC Center, Newcastle; Zabludowicz Collection, London. His work is also included in the collections of the Louvre, Paris; The Museum of Modern Art in New York; and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia.
