Collection: marie mauve

A familiar figure on the independent music scene - option damp cellars and inaudible sounds - Marie Mauve has been capturing fragments of concerts up close to bands and audiences for the past ten years. Documented in total immersion, these metallic moments have forged the first strata of her Rituels Mémoriels series, perpetuated by a seriously sharped retinal instinct.

In the wake of long initiatory journeys, much quiet themes were superimposed. Cottony landscapes, antic ruins, dark forests or religious places, the photographer becomes an anthropologist, tirelessly collecting the imprints of a world on the brink of extinction.

Back in the studio, she mischievously plunges her films into nebulous filters, whose formulas are invariably kept secret. A real alchemist of superimposition, blending self-portraits and sacred architecture, profane celebrations and luxuriant nature in an abyssal vortex of images, Marie Mauve unveils the contours of an alternative reality with a bewitching gothic psychedelia.

Fan of post-apocalyptic tales and, as such, moderately optimistic about the future of our civilization, she seems to inted her photographs for neo-humans and aliens who have come to witness the damages after an inevitable armageddon.

A final welcome offering, between sublime testimony and dreamlike relic of a planet adrift.
