Delphine Balley
For French photographer Delphine Balley the camera is a tool, which
allows her to see through reality and have access to fantasy. The
alterations she imprints on the world around her are the result of
uneasiness; feelings and ideas one may experience when trapped in the
familiar setting of humdrum life. Delphine Balley's work is an
attempt at capturing the huis clos atmosphere in which she was and
still is immersed. Her need to interrupt her growing-up is forcefully
conveyed in her images. In order to create her characters Balley
draws from anecdotes, news articles and pays attention to details.
Her practice evolves on the search for new events, new personalities
and new stories, which culminate in images that evoke a strange
familiarity.
