After a degree in philosophy, Sandra Lorenzi (born 1983) graduated from La Villa Arson in 2009. The same year, she exhibited in the international fair of Montrouge. She presented her first solo show "Holy Holes" at Visite ma tente gallery in Berlin. Late 2010, she exhibited in "Hic , l’exposition des idées" at La Villa Arson and presented in February 2011 "la Nébuleuse de l’Homoncule" in the Module 1 of the Palais de Tokyo.

Through sculpture, Sandra Lorenzi questions culture and its foundations, behaviours and their origins. Ancient references, ancestral forms or popular fictions are the sources she calls on to think and imagine a world inhabited with puzzling yet familiar creatures and objects. The "Jizo gisants" - figurines of decerebrated Japanese monks - are juxtaposed with an animal/mineral cornucopia under mutation, worn-out leftover of our consumer societies. The "Sub rosa" pieces - bunkers for domestic use - are on watch, as "one" never knows what may happen and is too cautious. Emmanuel, Leonard and Albert formerly researchers and philosophers slowly melt over, sad ex-votos of a knowledge that was held back long ago and that is fantasized today. Each character points at another; All of them being potential figures of a large human comedy which threads gradually blend and integrate our contemporary societies.
When creating forms and investigating space, Sandra Lorenzi explores, challenges and experiments if ways "things are displayed here" could be other.
