Eloïse Labarbe-Lafon is a photographer, originally from the south of France, based in Paris. She’s been experimenting with photography and its analog process since her early teens. Alongside her photographic practice, she has studied art history and cinema, worked as a film restorer, and colorized documentary archives. The proximity with early cinema and memories printed on film have considerably nourished and enriched her practice. Using photography and painting, she reinvents reality, creating fantasy-like worlds full of intimacy and mystery. Eloïse works on the preciousness of the image-object, through moments frozen on black and white film that she then prints and colors by hand, applying oil paint with her brushes and fingertips.
