With a degree from the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie d’Arles, Marina Gadonneix explores the unsuspected passage from rough territory to phantasmatic image, from a type of trace of the real to its most metaphorical mental expression. Her work has been shown at numerous institutions in Europe and the United States, notably at the Rencontres d’Arles, the Centre Photographique d’Île-de-France, the Kunsthalle, Tubingen, and the Point du Jour, Cherbourg. She was recently the winner of the Luma Rencontres Dummy Book Award for her work Phénomènes. She is represented by the Christophe Gaillard Gallery.
