“What interests me is to transcribe what I live when I take photographs.”
Perrine Géliot, Born in 1994 in the Parisian suburb of Colombes, Perrine Géliot is a sculptor and photographer who studied at the Ecole nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
“In photography,” Géliot explains, “I find the beginning of a response, the possibility of experiencing several facets of the land in the landscape.” This is what leads her to take photographs and transform them into three dimensional objects: “It’s about getting the prints off the wall, making them exist in space in such a way as you can walk around them.” In tandem with Rocha, Géliot brings the viewer on a journey to the remains of a society now overgrown with lush vegetation shrouded in waterfall mists. With her sculptures such as Hublot, a thick silver ring with an aquatic image at its base, Géliot asks not only what is below the surface, but where the surface is.
Together, their work shows the value and power of creation, and how transmitting knowledge and sharing experiences fosters rich exchanges and authentic, meaningful connections.
