Alexandra Catière. Cerisier en fleurs

In 2023, Alexandra Catiere was invited by the Maison des Artistes de Nogent-sur-Marne to carry out a residency at the retirement home, at the suggestion of the Collège international de la photographie, an institution dedicated to the conservation, experimentation and transmission of the photographic art form. Through meetings, practical workshops and contemplative moments, Alexandra Catiere encouraged the emergence of links between individual and collective memory, and then combined the human and artistic experience to redeploy the notions of memory and sensitive presence. This project was supported by ADAGP. Alexandra Catiere's borderless career bears witness to her desire to reach out to the universal. From the former Soviet Union to France and the United States, this young photographer has made timelessness one of the major aspects of her work. Resurrecting the humanist tradition, her images are those of sensations and atmospheres that she succeeds in capturing. Never confining herself to the genres of portraiture or reportage, Alexandra makes the camera the instrument of her empathy for human nature and life in particular.
