Esther Voisin is a French photographer who is living and working in the U.S. Her work and vision are “still-frame” moments captured in the daily panorama of modern life. The bare poetry of every day in the subjects of little matter that our eyes no longer see. Driven by a cinematic vision, her work ponders on the subjective emotion of isolation, composition, texture, and light.
“I first discovered photography through cinema. Then, I just grabbed my camera and started to shoot. At that time with a Nikon & 50 mm. I had my first collective gallery exhibition at 22 years old: B/W works selected by the Kodak Foundation and the museum Nicephore Niepce, by a group of art critics and photographers.”
Voisin is developing a new body of work that will be on display Upstairs@ModernWest in February 2021. Check out our interview to learn more about the artist and swing by the gallery to meet her during her residency from January 12, 2021 - February 28, 2021.
