Érika Étangsalé was born in 1983 in Mâcon. She lives and works on the island of Reunion. She graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Dijon (ENSA) and the Institut de L'image de l'Océan Indien (ILOI). Always on the borderline between documentary and fiction, reality and mythology, her work deals mainly with heredity and loss of memory through our gradual separation from the living, nature and the invisible world.
