Alexandra Catiere was born in Minsk, present-day Belarus. In 2000, she moved to Moscow and began developing an interest in photography. In 2003, she relocated to New York City and studied at the International Center of Photography (ICP).
In 2005, she joined the studio of Irving Penn. She moved to Paris in 2008. In 2011, following an artist residency at the GwinZegal Art Center in Guingamp, she became the winner of the first edition of the BMW Residency at the Nicéphore Niépce Museum in Chalon-sur-Saône and exhibited her work at the Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie d’Arles.
Alexandra Catiere regularly collaborates with the press, including The New Yorker, The New York Times, FOAM, and Le Monde.
Her photographs have been exhibited at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Rome, the National Audiovisual Center of Luxembourg, and the Photoforum Pasquart in Biel, Switzerland.
Alexandra Catiere’s borderless journey reflects her desire to reach toward the universal. From the former Soviet Union to France, by way of the United States, this young photographer has made timelessness one of the defining aspects of her work. Reviving the humanist tradition, her images convey sensations and atmospheres that she succeeds in capturing with remarkable sensitivity. Never limiting herself to portraiture or reportage alone, Alexandra uses the camera as an instrument of empathy toward human nature and life itself.
She lives and works in Paris.
