Andrée Weschler is a French visual artist and performer whose work explores memory, identity, and the boundaries of societal norms. For more than three decades, she has lived and worked across Asia and Europe, developing a practice that spans performance, video, photography, installation, and object-making. At the core of her art is the body — simultaneously tool, subject, and vessel — through which she investigates intimacy, silence, time, and the unspoken rules that shape human experience.

Her practice grew from a lifelong habit of collecting images, stories, and impressions — from childhood memories and dreams to smells, traumas, and voices. These fragments transform in her work into charged gestures, ritual-like actions, and distilled materials. Weschler often subjects her body to weight, burden, or restriction, allowing vulnerability to become a means of resilience and reflection. She describes her philosophy as: “Art shapes my days, and my days sculpt my art.”

Born in France, Weschler studied fine arts in NAFA in Singapore, Australia, and France, including time in Annette Messager’s studio at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. She grew up in Europe and is living in Asia for 30 years and her work reflects this bridging of cultures and perspectives. Since 2000, she has exhibited widely in international biennales, museums, and cultural institutions, including the Palais de Tokyo (France), Yokohama Triennale (Japan), Guangzhou Triennial (China), National Review of Live Art (UK), and Museo Martín Gusinde (Chile).

Weschler’s art invites audiences into spaces of transformation — where what is hidden, forgotten, or erased might re-emerge — and where the language of the body speaks what words cannot.
