MONTH OF PHOTOGRAPHY - MARIE MONS

Presentation

Exhibition Marie Mons, photographer "Un sourire de case-pilote" & "Aurore Colbert" . Opening on 05 June 2023 at 18:30 at the Maison des Mémoires.
The GRAPh presents two facets of the work of photographer Marie Mons, a face to face between Aurore Colbert, Fictions Documentaires made in Iceland and Un sourire de case-pilote a work on identity and memory.
Marie Mons spent three months of winter in a small village in the fjords of eastern Iceland where she became Aurore Colbert. Speaking of winter and its polar nights, of the rhythm it induces through a great shamanic ritual, she embodies her character while always leaving room for surprise. In the manner of a monodrama, the inhabitants of Seyðisfjörður have become the actors of this experimental theatre, translating her mental projections, invented or real.
