About

Florence Cardenti lives and works in Paris. She holds a degree in Fine Arts from Jean Monnet University in Saint-Étienne and a degree in Photography from Paris 8 University. She worked for fifteen years in multimedia project design and imaging technologies before dedicating herself entirely to artistic creation.

She combines personal artistic production with collaborations and commissioned projects for artists and institutions. Her works are held in public and private collections in France and abroad, including the Bibliothèque nationale de France, École des Ponts, and the Alpenverein in Innsbruck, Austria.

Her work has been presented in several exhibitions within private programming (Galerie Inn Situ, Innsbruck, 2022) and at festivals such as the Biennale de l’Image Tangible in 2023 and 24 CARATS in 2024. Alongside her artistic practice, she has collaborated with institutions on various projects and taught photography and visual arts at Gustave Eiffel University for seven years.

She now focuses fully on her research and on the development of new image-based dispositifs, exploring contemporary technologies of capture, modelling, and 3D design in a continuous dialogue between artistic creation, visual research, and technical applications.
