This captivating work features a visually intriguing composition that skillfully plays with themes of reflection and identity. The black and white photography reinforces the mystical and timeless aura of the image. In the center, a photographer is capturing an image using a camera, the lens of which is pointed directly at us. This mise en abyme evokes a reflection on the duality of perception and reality, questioning what is observed and what is reflected. The artistic blur adds a dreamlike dimension, as if the boundary between the artist and the work becomes blurred, creating a fusion between the observer and the observed object. The choice of monochrome accentuates the subtle contrasts and delicate shadows, highlighting the complexity of the scene and drawing the eye to minute details. The repetition of the face and the camera, due to the play of mirrors, multiplies the points of view and brings a captivating visual depth. This superposition creates a sense of static movement, where each element reflects and amplifies the other in perfect harmony. Through this work, we perceive an homage to the very process of photography – a capture of the moment, a reflection of the self, and an immortalization of the instant. The introspective aspect of this image encourages contemplation and challenges the viewer to reexamine their own perception of art and reality. It is a perfect illustration of the complex interplay between the viewer, the capturing tool, and the image created, thus offering a rich and deeply philosophical visual experience.

Julie Peiffer, Passion en chambre noire
France  • 1967

Presentation

French photographer Julie Peiffer, born in 1967, lives and works between Paris and Nancy.

Julie Peiffer is a self-taught artist who began her artistic career in 2020. After years of keen observation of society, she found in photography a powerful means to explore social issues that concern her, shedding light on inequalities, particularly those affecting women. She strives to capture the immateriality of feelings and make them visible through her art.

After working as an editor in magazine journalism in Paris, Julie Peiffer turned to photography following the 2015 attacks, driven by an urgent need to capture the city during those dark times.

Since then, Julie Peiffer’s work has delved into feminine identity, exploring the depths of this intimate and often unknown realm.

Her photographs harmoniously blend the language of the female body with light, revealing an underlying vitality and melancholy—core elements of human existence.

She constantly explores the materiality of the image, creating photographs that transcend mere visuals to become almost pictorial, offering a unique sensory experience.

In 2023, one of her works was included in the HERMÈS Foundation collection, and she joined the masterclass of photographer FLORE.

Her works are also present in private collections in France, Canada, Dubai, and Australia.

In 2024, one of her works will be part of the Artcurial sale for the Foch Foundation.
