-- BIOGRAPHY

Graduated from the National School of Photography in Arles in 2016, Virginie PLAUCHUT has always been interested in the human being in what he nourishes with neuroses, sufferings, psychoses, but also beliefs, habits and of symbolism. It is at the heart of his research and his photographic work.
 

She photographs to question, to make visible through the image. Thus, for several years, she worked on issues and taboos related to childhood. In his series, his photographs aim to be paradoxically calm; it is not the act that is retained, even less the "spectacular". The iconography highlights a "banality" of each situation.
 

Although her photographic approach is reality as a starting point, she creates stagings that question it; and navigates between narrative photography in form and social photography in substance.
 

In recent years, she has experimented with another approach to the photographic act, and has begun a new creative process. Her images transfigure reality and her visual proposals then convey how Virginie PLAUCHUT feels the world.
 

Her various works have been exhibited at festivals or during personal and collective exhibitions in France and Europe. She was also a finalist for the Leica Oskar Barnack Prize in 2014. She has been a member of the Hans Lucas studio since 2015 and a photographer for the PlainPicture agency since 2014.
