Echakhch began her career in 2002. She participated in the Venice Biennale in 2011. She was awarded the Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2013. Alfred Pacquement, director of the Musée National d'Art Moderne (Pompidou Centre), who was president of the jury, said: "Her work, between surrealism and conceptualism, questions with economy and precision the importance of symbols and reflects the fragility of modernism." In December 2015 she was the first woman guest curator of the annual Masters' exhibition at the Haute École d'art et de design Genève, GET OUT.
