Philippe Shangti

Philippe Shangti is a multidisciplinary artist expressing himself through photography, sculpture, video art, painting, and even performance art. The beginning of Philippe’s creative journey coincided with his move to Saint-Tropez, France.

One hesitates to categorise Shangti’s creations as staged photography; rather, the artist takes on the guise of a director putting on a large-scale theatre production and capturing certain scenes from it to make posters and playbills. In 2019, Philippe Shangti was selected to represent the Principality of Andorra at the 58th Venice Biennale. The international press and the art world ranked the Andorran pavilion – and Philippe’s work – among the 10 essential pavilions of the Biennale.
