A 1998 graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Dijon, Sophie Laly's work focuses on notions of time and space-time, questioning man's place in the landscape, and always returning us to our earthly “being”.

Her projects take the form of installations, short formats or documentaries, and she also collaborates on choreographic creations, notably with Christian Rizzo since 2008.

In the French contemporary dance scene, she has worked as a video artist with Emmanuelle Huynh, Rachid Ouramdane, Richard Siegal, Latifa Laâbissi and, more recently, Sylvain Prunenec. In 2008, she began a close and regular collaboration with Christian Rizzo, assisting him on all his pieces, and co-wrote the piece néo-fiction in 2012, as well as D'après nature (piece in episodes, to date 2 episodes) in 2018.
