About Valérie Belin : 

Valérie Belin is a French visual artist born in Boulogne-Billancourt in 1964. She lives and works in Paris. A student at the École des Beaux-arts de Versailles (1983-1985), then at the École nationale supérieure d'art de Bourges (1985-1988), she obtained the diplôme national supérieur d'expression plastique in 1988. She also holds a degree in philosophy of art (Université de Paris Panthéon-Sorbonne, 1898). Initially influenced by various minimalist and conceptual currents, Valérie Belin became interested in the photographic medium, which is both the subject of her work and her means of reflection and creation. Light, matter and the bodies of things and beings in general, as well as their transformations and representations, constitute the terrain of her experiments and the universe of her artistic intent. His work takes the form of photographic series, each produced as part of a specific project.
