Marie Le Mounier holds a double PhD in Art History from KU Leuven and in didactics of Languages and Cultures from Université Sorbonne Nouvelle. Her interdisciplinary research lies at the intersection of art, art history, and applied linguistics.
She currently teaches art history at KU Leuven and lectures in French as a Foreign Language at the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) a subject she previously taught at Université Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris (2022–2025), where she was also a PhD Fellow. She oversees curriculum development and international relations at Studio Images, Cambodia’s first higher-education institution dedicated to photography, and serves as co-artistic director and general coordinator of the Photo Phnom Penh festival.
She trained in photography at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston and graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles in 1996. Her artistic practice is grounded in the appropriation and recontextualization of found images. She has exhibited her work, participated in residencies, led workshops, and curated exhibitions across Europe, North America, and Asia.
