Le fil qui chante - Limited edition 5 of 8 Photograph

Jeanne Fredac. Born in March, 1970 in Treves (Trier), Germany. Photographer, visual artist, autodidact. Jeanne Fredac is a wanderer. She is self-taught and follows no preset path, in fact she knows no such path. Instead she tries, plays, experiments in response to what she encounters along the way. Her photographs, paintings, videos and texts explore man’s relationship to his geographical, historical and social spaces. In a world consumed by the relentless quest for answers, regardless of the questions’ relevance and the presuppositions’ accuracy, she wants to get rid of anything that is a given. And she follows that rule herself, refusing to stay put, to remain within the confines of the work for which she is best known: her photographs of abandoned places. Her art, which was originally almost exclusively photography- and text-based, and rooted in an intimate sense of place, is moving outside those borders, adding painting and objects to its cosmogony. It is also becoming more conceptual and taking new roots in a critique of the obvious. Her work has been exhibited in France, Germany, Italy, the USA and Denmark.
