Valérie Belin's Photographs Question Representation
Valérie Belin's large-scale photographs, whether depicting faces, bodies, or objects, in black and white or color, do more than capture attention—they unsettle by instilling doubt in representation. The interview in artpress (issue 424, July-August 2015, pp. 36-43) by Étienne Hatt explores her deconstructive approach. The article references the Centre Pompidou, which holds her work. Belin's practice challenges the viewer's certainty about what is seen, blurring lines between reality and artifice.
