about

Born in Brest (France) in 1981. Lives and works in Brussels (Belgium).

After studying cinema and photography, Rozenn Quéré started working at the intersection of photography and narrative. She creates her own polymorphous and playful universe through producing images (namely photomontage) and animations from photographs. Although confined to solitary practice of photography and writing, Rozenn Quéré is always fond of collaborative and interdisciplinary projects, aware that those projects benefit from her imagination and skills, and that in return, her universe gets enriched by the experience. Her longest collaboration, the one with the blind artist and philosopher Evgen Bavcar, expresses her vision that photography goes far beyond the simple sense of sight.
