Raphaëlle PERIA

Born in 1989, Raphaëlle Peria lives and works between Paris and the Hauts-de-France region. In her work, she explores the duality between humankind and nature by transforming photography as a medium for her own memory, as well as for a collective memory. Raphaëlle Peria uses the photographic image as a support for a drawing-like practice. For several years, she has been developing a scratching technique which she uses to create new forms and reveal the elements of the photograph that are most evocative of the subject she is exploring. Landscapes, natural elements, and ecosystems are at the heart of her artistic approach and serve as starting points for her photographic journeys. This technique of removal evokes the memory of the presence of living beings and elements that inhabit natural environments.
