Isabelle Bonameau Lemordan

Isabelle Bonameau Lemordan is a visual photographer born in Belgium and living in Paris. She uses photography as medium with the unconscious. She draws inspiration from her own life, memories and fantasies, and keeps an experimental poetic photographic diary on instagram. She is also a painter and children's book illustrator.
“Based on the imaginary, my photographic work is essentially narrative. Often presented in the form of a series of photos, sometimes accompanied by a text or poem, the photos are always captioned. They are produced in several stages. As with the Rorschach inkblot technique, what I see in my photos is then shaped and completed with captions, text or a poem. Whatever photos I take, I always make them passing to “the other side of the mirror”. To do this, I strive to work in a hypnagogic state of consciousness, this state in which the unconscious is almost the only master on board.
For me, photography is above all a work of reappropriation and rewriting of the past and of my life.”
