Nathalie Junod Ponsard

Nathalie Junod Ponsard’s artistic practice focuses on light as both a medium and an experience, using pure wavelengths to alter sensory perception and recalibrate how we engage with space. Her creations evoke a delicate balance between the familiar and the extraordinary, often leaving viewers in a state of physical and emotional wonder. Her art pushes the boundaries of perception, exploring how light interacts with biological systems and inducing psychotropic effects that transcend the visible
 

Nathalie Junod Ponsard has presented her work in numerous prestigious international institutions and venues. Highlights include Evi-Lichtungen Biennial in Germany (2020), the Luxelakes A4 Museum and MOCA in Chengdu, China (2015 and 2014), the Palazzo Farnese in Rome for the Luce di Pietra trail (2007), and the Singapore Art Museum during the Biennale (2001). In France, her site-specific light installations were exhibited at the Pompidou Centre (2005), the Espace Fondation EDF (2013), and the Basilica of Saint-Denis (2014). Permanent public works include Le dépli de la lumière on the Austerlitz Building (2017), Crépuscule persistant at Place Malraux (2010–2020), and the carpet Odyssée, designed for the grand staircase of the Elysée Palace (2021).
