Anne-Laure Wuillai was born in 1987 in Versailles. A graduate of the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2014, she settled in Nice, near the sea. She has worked in a studio at La Station since 2019 and is represented by Galerie Eva Vautier. Graduated in 2014 from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris, Anne-Laure Wuillai, facing the sea, compiles an inventory of samples, among which waters, sediments and shorelines are meticulously catalogued, packaged and classified. Mapping her samples onto established benchmarks, measuring systems and cartographies, she reveals the paradox of a world perceived on a human scale. Oceans are contained in flasks, seas in labelled plastic bags, while the sky is measured in fifty-three shades of blue.
