Dans le parc d'octobre Photograph

Jessica Décembre was born in Montreuil (France) in 1984. She spent her childhood at Clos Saint Lazare in Stains. Today she lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Jessica studied at the Beaux Arts in Le Mans, but continued her studies at a distance to obtain her Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne. Jessica's photographic work is rooted in her childhood. A memory of Wednesday afternoons spent with her great-grandmother looking through old photo albums. People in black and white whom Jessica would never know, but who had an air of resemblance to familiar strangers. One by one, her great-grandmother would introduce her to "her dearly departed". There was something intense and precious about the moment they shared. Jessica Décembre explores photographic techniques (photograms, cyanotypes, polaroids...) to create her close acquaintances. These different techniques enable her to prolong this gentle intimacy.
