Isaline Dupont Jacquemart
FRANCE
Born in 1995, Isaline Dupond Jacquemart uses photography to question the links between the body, gender, memory and the living. She invites us into a dreamlike and sometimes disturbing universe - from the portrait to the fragment via the self-portrait - as if fiction, or rather a parallel interstice, were always saying more about our reality.
A graduate in philosophy and gender studies from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, she studied photography at the Ateliers Beaux Arts de la Ville de Paris and is committed to combining research and creation. Nourished by ecofeminism, feminist and queer studies, she questions our representations and norms and seeks to construct new worlds in images in order to question ours in return.
Isaline Dupond Jacquemart adopts a plastic approach and also uses writing and video to create alternative plastic and narrative spaces. Photography becomes a material - depth, texture and tints - and in this fabrication of the image, playing with the boundaries of aesthetics, the astonishment and the ellipsis slip in to think the sensitive.

Alternative world
“Alternative world" explores the imaginary of a future, utopian or dystopian - we don't really know anymore - and takes the path of science fiction.
The artist creates a speculative narrative of a world in decomposition, questioning our world in return. The work of the anthropologist Anna Tsing and the philosopher Donna Haraway, "Alternative World", raises the following question: how to live in the ruins in the age of Chthulucene?
