Pascaline Marre is a freelance photographer currently based in Paris.

Her long term projects question the desappearance ; an insatiable quest of what escapes mankind. And more specifically, man’s need for domination over a minority, may it be social, religious, ethnical, or cultural, as a fantasized condition for his survival. This search has led her to Parisian stigmatized suburbia, south of France, Lebanon, Armenia, Turkey or her grand-mother’s backyard.

Graduate in Art History from Drew University, US.

« My work is embeded in my daily life. Photography has modified my outlook on the world, in as much as strong personal events have radically changed my appreciation on things and life. Hence, my photographic writing has developped, and detached itself from a journalistic writing to a resolutely more personnal approach. »
