by Valérie Belin (Photographer), Tobia Bezzola (Editor), Jürg Trösch (Editor)
It is unsurprising that French photographer Val rie Belin (born 1964) should so plainly declare: "I come from painting." Although she uses a photographer's equipment, her images are far removed from realism. Whether responding to a still life by douard Manet or exploring societal constructions of female beauty, Belin emphasizes textural artifice and molded color, even when working in black and white.
