LA CASA
- exhibition-event of the winners of the Prize Carré sur Seine, from February 3 to 24, 2023 -

A trunk rather than a suitcase for the photographer; to contain the images that she cuts, develops, preserves and that are "the engine of her relationship to reality"; sources with which she says, "live daily". This time, she has taken them down from the walls of her studio to keep them in the box. If the reading has another scale, it signifies her way of working and her intimacy. The content describes the flow and inspiration that runs through her work.

In a photographic atmosphere particularly thick with the material and light she captures, Marie Quéau fixes in her series Le Royaume sporting and carnival moments that testify to our belonging to the primitive world. The effort and the party give back to the bodies of those who immerse themselves in the silt a saving and mysterious aesthetic. The artist communicates the colorimetry of our connivance with Nature when the alchemy of life contains in substance that of death, under the day of the renewal.
