Valérie Belin (born 3 February 1964 in Boulogne-Billancourt)[1] is a French photographer.[2][3][4] She lives and works in Paris.

Biography

Valérie Belin trained at the École des Beaux-Arts de Bourges from 1983 to 1988 and then obtained a DEA in philosophy at Paris-I-Panthéon-Sorbonne in 1989.

In 1994 she put on her first exhibition of crystal objects at Galerie Alain Gutharc, Paris.

She successively won the CCF Foundation for Photography prize, which will later become the HSBC prize, in 2000,[5] and the Altadis prize in 2001.

In 2004 she was nominated for the Prix Marcel Duchamp.

In 2007 a retrospective of her work toured to three institutions dedicated to photography: the Fondation Huis Marseille in Amsterdam,[6] the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris, and the Musée de l'Élysée in Lausanne.

In 2015 she won the sixth Prix Pictet, the theme of which was “Disorder.”[7] That year she also had an exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.[8]

Works

Her work takes the form of photographic series. In the 2000s she started using digital post-production tools which gave her greater freedom to change and control the chromatic values of the prints. She now produced her first series in colour.

In 2009 Valérie Belin began to use other kinds of digital manipulation, heightening the hybrid, graphic and artificial dimension of her work. These include solarisation and overprinting. Since then, she has also worked with other abstract vectorial forms, like digital “readymades” found on the internet, which she reworks on the computer, melding them with her images.[9]
