Biography
Aglaé Bory's photographic work revolves around the human face - portraits of friends and family or strangers - and landscapes, whether real and geographical or interior and metaphorical. Both genres are part of the same poetic gesture: to make visible the uniqueness and intimacy of a person or a place, to establish, in the words of the artist, a "silent conversation, in search of authentic interiority". Somewhere between documentary and fiction, her work interrogates the absence or presence of faces in the environment, and the way in which bodies occupy space.
