After studies in literature and journalism, Marguerite Bornhauser studied at the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles, receiving her diploma in 2015. Her first solo institutional exhibition was held in Paris at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in 2019. Her work is represented by several European galleries and has been exhibited by museums, galleries, and festivals throughout the world (France, Turkey, Portugal, Switzerland, Japan, Netherlands, Spain, Bahrain …). In 2021, the Grand Palais in Paris gave her carte blanche to observe its 4-year restoration project.
