Specialisation:

Aveline Marceau creates delicate yet haunting works at the intersection of photography, natural materials, and filmic overlays. Her practice often layers analogue images of human figures with botanical forms, producing dreamlike fusions of flesh and flora. Exploring the poetics of memory, decay, and ecological entanglement, Marceau’s works blur the line between portrait and landscape, suggesting a hybrid identity that is both human and more-than-human.

Critical Themes:

The coexistence of fragility and resilience in ecological-human systems

Memory as a living organism — evolving, fading, regenerating

Interplay of body, plant, and archive in a post-anthropocentric world

Marceau is currently collaborating with biologists in Iceland to create a series of photo-chemical prints developed using local algae, titled Photosynthesis of Absence.
