Pauline Fargue is a performer, video artist, and sculptor, but her work is above all driven by photography, which she tirelessly brings to the forefront through pages, screens, and installations that operate perpetual detour. After a Master’s degree in philosophy of art, she switched definitively to photography when she met Chris Marker, who encouraged her to pursue her growing photographic practice.
She exhibits in France and abroad and is notably the winner of the Prix découverte des Rencontres de la photographie d’Arles and the Fondation Luma in 2015.
Her work was presented at the Vincent Van Gogh Foundation in Arles in 2011, at Paris Photo in 2012, at le Bal in Paris and at the Inter Gallery in Beijing in 2013, at the Foto Museo Quatro Caminos in Mexico City in 2014 and at the Centro Cultural Ignacio Ramirez in San Miguel de Allende in 2014, at the Rencontres de la photographie d’Arles and the Jimei X Arles Est West Encounter International Photo Festival in Xiamen, China in 2015, at the Silencio in Paris, at the Baffest Festival in Barakaldo, Spain in 2017 and at the Rencontres de la photographie d’Arles in 2021.
