From Paris, Valérie Thérèse Maigret Berger works at the intersection of polymathic inquiry and artistic creation. Her practice engages philosophy, architecture, art history, international relations, economics, and literature—with particular attention to the work of Philippe Jaccottet—in a sustained examination of the ethical and aesthetic conditions of contemporary life.

A committed advocate of slow media, she maintains that silence, duration, and reflective depth are essential conditions for rigorous thought and writing. This ethos informs a prose style marked by clarity, formal discipline, and deliberate cadence. Her sensibility is profoundly shaped by music—especially opera and the interpretations of Karl Böhm—as well as by early training in ballet and violin, transmitted through maternal lineage and formative artistic education.

Her work interrogates the intersections of ethics, aesthetics, and society, advancing a vision in which art, diplomacy, and intellectual dialogue operate as modalities of reconciliation within fractured political and cultural landscapes. Environmental responsibility, gentleness, and dialogue are not treated as abstract themes but enacted as practices, embedded within a philosophical method that is both critical and introspective.

She is currently writing a book on the tyranny of sameness, examining the processes by which individuals increasingly replicate one another in the digital age.
