ALICIA RINA
Franco-Japanese,
residing and working mainly in Paris/Montreuil
Digital technology and advances in image capture technologies are making image production increasingly easier and more accessible. Paradoxically, this greater ease of production produces in me something like a feeling of dispossession of these images. They can seem to escape me, both because of their immeasurable number and because of the ease with which we can now capture them. My visual work therefore stems from a desire to reclaim images, my own image and those of others that I have captured.
Without resorting to digital retouching, I create installations in which I play at replaying the photographic act. The image takes shape in space and I question the materiality of photography.
My questions are autobiographical. I address the issue of my dual identity, but also my place as a woman, grief, depression, and more.
