Born in the United States in 1989 and a graduate of the École des Gobelins in 2017, Sasha Mongin lives and works in Paris.
In 2023, she exhibited two series exploring masculinity, Écrins and Mythes, Chapter I, at Galerie M. Sasha then embarked on two distinct projects.
The first, titled Backstages, reveals the behind-the-scenes of Fashion Week and was selected as a finalist for the 2024 Picto Prize. This work will be exhibited in September at Galerie M during Paris Fashion Week.
The second project, The Dying Man Who Wouldn’t Die, explores the theme of grief and earned Sasha Mongin the Premi Fotografia Femenina from InCadaqués x Fisheye. The project was presented at the InCadaqués International Photography Festival in September 2024.
In 2025, Sasha Mongin was awarded the Bourse du Talent for The Dying Man Who Wouldn’t Die. The series was exhibited in July 2025 in Arles, during the opening week of the Rencontres d’Arles photography festival, at the Maison des Photographes (UPP).
Alongside her personal work, she also takes on commissions, always seeking to infuse her images with a sense of magic. In 2024, her work caught the attention of Christine and the Queens, who entrusted her with directing the music video for the song Rentrer chez moi. In 2025, she continues her intimate exploration through The Dying Man Who Wouldn’t Die, directs a second dreamlike music video for the artist Joye, and begins a new fantastical series on the Lake of Soings.
