Artistic approach
Christine Delory-Momberger carries on a photographic work on the intimate, the memory, the personal and collective history. In this work, she intuitively mixes personal or anonymous photographs, archive images, recent images, and poetic texts. She relentlessly explores the image, photographing and re-photographing, trying to break and cross its rigid surface, to go beyond the flat impenetrability of what is shown, and to touch its buried, or unheard part. New images arise, assemble together and produce an hypothetic self-history. This in-quest becomes a source of knowledge and transformation of oneself and of the world.
