FLORE - Babouches for Algerian women
Artist Biography: Through refined technical interventions in the laboratory, as if she were an alchemist, FLORE shapes as much as she restores the world that unfolds before her eyes to make unique images that move away from conventional photographic reality, creating a fusion between content and form. Thus, he questions the photographic medium by moving with ease from older techniques such as platinum-palladium or cyanotype to more modern ones, sometimes mixing them and physically intervening in the prints with wax, gold or pigments. FLORE is totally dedicated to the search for memory and produces "non-sensational" images that attempt to recreate the truth rather than a gradually fading reality. Winner of the Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière Photography Prize in collaboration with the Academy of Fine Arts and the Nadar Prize. She received the Carte Blanche of the city of Paris.
In the 1970s, FLORE's father unexpectedly abandoned her mother in the port of Tangier. The discussion was brief, without outbursts, the decision, sudden. She, the painter Olga Jimeno, decided to stay in Tangier and, what was originally going to be a summer trip became a road trip of several months. Made in 2019, shortly after the death of her mother, the series is a bittersweet tribute to her memory. The artist whispers to us that time slips away, memories fade and those we love die. Through snapshots initially taken on Polaroid, FLORE transports the images to a Japanese handmade paper, later adding mother-of-pearl pigments. In this way he obtains works that seem to have been taken in the seventies, which are the true origin of this series. "Sometimes there are only photographs left to remind us of the poetry of happy days."
