Marie Blampain
Overlay (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Overlay is a series of self-portraits that imply an intimate and solitary inner search for an identity, representing some cultures and countries I have been close to or lived in, that have reshaped me and made me who I am. They have all left an impression on me that has become part of the many layers of bodily experiences. Covering my body with paint to embrace those layers enabled me in some ways to create new beings.
As this series is about my inner self, it was important that the creation and realization were entirely produced by me. Integral to this series was holding on to the veracity of the original image, in order to keep the authenticity of my working process in front of the camera.
AUTHOR
Marie Blampain is a conceptual fine art photographer born in 1992 in New Caledonia and currently based in Mexico.
Her work is rooted in a studio-based, constructed photographic practice that explores identity, embodiment, and states of transition. Across her projects, existential concerns emerge through familiar situations and the human body, suspending fixed identity and drawing attention to moments of passage, transformation, and becoming. The images she produces are composed with an emphasis on clarity and structure, carefully designed to minimize visual noise and distraction.
Her work has been exhibited and awarded internationally.
