Marie Valognes is a visual artist who works primarily with photography and moving image. Her practice, situated at the intersection of fiction and documentary, is rooted in forms of obsession. She observes patterns in everyday life and interpersonal relationships, drawing from them themes that form the foundation of her work. Her gaze is inquisitive, sometimes humorous: an image might recontextualise consumption or capture body language that reveals subtleties of human nature. She strives to establish a connection with the viewer, an intention that lends her photographs authenticity.
