Valérie Belin: Complete Work
Valérie Belins photographs avoid simple representation or description, even though she often chooses to photograph simple objects, such as glasses, silverware, Venetian mirrors, cars, or animal carcasses. Instead she is attempting to unveil the very essence of her subjects and to delve into the deepest secrets of things, of matter and of light, almost independent of the objects themselves. This comprehensive retrospective of Belins work also includes all her other suites her questioning of corporeality in her explicit studies of bodybuilders; the series of Moroccan brides which broach complex issues of identity and representation; and her investigations of hybrid entities, such as transsexuals, Michael Jackson look-alikes and the mannequins in shop windows.
Valérie Belin
'I come from painting.' It is not surprising that Valerie Belin should describe her work as coming from painting, for it would be curious indeed to call her a photographer. Although she uses a photographer's equipment, her masterful control of the technique enables her to transcend the imprint of reality and preclude reference to the world. Belin tells us nothing about the circumstances out there; she offers no evidence; she advances no arguments and makes no comments. She takes the world and makes pictures out of it. Her latest moves – colour and montage – are therefore perfectly logical. Thanks to digital technology, she can now also impose her will on the pictures she creates in colour. Never has photography been so far removed from naive naturalism and normality. Published with Codax Publishers, Zurich.

Val�rie Belin constantly explores matter, the body and the living, absence and their representations; she brilliantly develops her research on light, detail and texture. After a first volume released in 2007, Damiani now presents her subsequent work, with series produced between 2007 and 2016: Fruit Baskets , Lido , Ballroom Dancers , Vintage Cars , Crowned heads , Black-eyed Susan , Settings , Brides , Bob , Interiors and Still Life as well as her most recent and original series, All Star . The volume also comprises exhibition views and photographs taken during her performance at the Centre Pompidou in 2014. An immersion into a rare and unusual body of work that brilliantly questions matter and the living through the photographic medium. Photography of confusion and absence.

Tous les soins de l'artiste s'appliquent à faire l'apologie d'entités abstraites comme le transparent et le réfléchissant, l'aplat et le décoratif, la mémoire et l'instant, la présence et l'absence.

Valérie Belin cherche à éviter l'anecdote de la forme et à pénétrer au coeur des chose. Ses photographies d'objets en verre réalisées à Venise ou les miroirs pris dans des magasins de décoration constituent l'aboutissement de cette recherche. Elle s'intéresse aussi à la problèmatique du corps : les robes de mariée, comme les épaves de voiture ...

Ausst. u.d.T.: Correspondances - Valérie Belin/Édouard Manet
A l'invitation du musée d'Orsay, des artistes d'aujourd'hui dialoguent avec les collections en choisissant l'œuvre de laquelle ils se sentent proches. Naît ainsi la possibilité de voir les collections sous un nouveau jour. Valérie Belin, artiste française née en 1964, inlassablement et presque à contre-courant, a construit une œuvre radicale autour de ta photographie de personnages ou d'objets. L'entretien avec Quentin Bajac met au jour la singularité de son travail et ses rapports avec la peinture et notamment Manet, l'artiste choisi pour "Correspondances ".
