About.
|
Solène Milcent (b.1990, Saint Sébastien sur Loire, France) is a self taught photographer. She is currently based between France and Barcelona. Her work is an exploration of the self in relation to other living things on earth.
She grew up in a rural area in France with environmental activist parents in a time and place where environmental issues were not understood or taken seriously. She discovered photography and art only later when she moved out to the city for her studies. In 2017 she decided to leave her office job to travel and dedicate her time to the practice of film photography. During her trip volunteering in remote places in Iceland, Arizona and California, she kept a journal with Polaroids and writing. It was at this time that she began her first artistic projects, including “Georgia's world” inspired by the painter Georgia O'Keeffe. Her experiences and curiosity directly inspired the themes addressed in her work. Her reading nourishes her vision of life , like the books of contemporary philosophers for example Donna Haraway, Emanuele Coccia, Vinciane Despret to name only her most recent readings. The projects she is currently working on are always in line with her ecological values, they also address the themes of gender fluidity, gentle sexuality, and the desire or non-desire for motherhood. Her work can be seen in sustainable fashion magazine like the Earth Issue and Human wonder. Her project "in my room" is published in Fisheye magazine. She co-directed her first short movie "La Journée des Framboises" for the adult indie short movie platform XConfessions. |
