Melanie-Jane Frey is a visual artist who explores temporality and the connection to the living. Trained as a historian, she chose photography to be at the heart of the world and first worked as a photojournalist for 20 years.
Since 2012, in her Parisian studio, she works mainly by crossing processes, materials and other artistic disciplines. It is a return to a slower, extensible time, which questions the porosity of the medium in experimentation and detour. Today her quest leads her to seize the invisible and the imaginary, a reality that she wants to explore as an indispensable facet for the connection to the living. She says she always wants to "incarnate" her photographs.
These works also draw from spirituality, nature and music to translate a state of contemplation and a metaphor of eternity.
