Belin has exhibited both inside and outside France in a very large number of institutions and museums, including the Center Pompidou (Paris), Musée d'Orsay (Paris), the MoMA (New York), Getty Museum (Los Angeles), Hall Napoléon, Musée du Louvre (Paris), Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (Beijing) and La Maison Guerlain (Paris), 'Femmes en regard', curated by Jean-Luc Monterosso, founder of the MEP (Maison Européenne de la Photographie). One of her most recent exhibitions was Origin Stories: Photography of Africa and its Diaspora, curated by Tiera Ndlovu of the Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach in the United States. In the Netherlands, her work has been exhibited in Huis Marseille (Amsterdam) and De Pont Museum (Tilburg). In 2017 she was made a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters (Officier de l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres).
Belin uses the medium of photography to investigate which cultural processes are at work behind representations or images. In this way she reduces portraits and still lifes to the essential. The monumental format in which she prints her photos contributes to this. In her latest series Modern Royals she suggests that these are a series of strong, worldly women, who each shine in more or less equal way in terms of beauty and personality. Yet it always turns out to be the same model. It is details such as the pose of the hand, the color of the eyes, the position of her chin that influence and direct our gaze. Phillip Prodger * sees in this work "a portrait and a still life" at the same time; a deep dive into the psychology of a 'semi-anonymous' woman and a reflection on our society characterized by the overconsumption of images.
After all, much of Belin's work is an insidious critique of the contemporary illusion of perfection. Insidious, because her works are so dazzling. However, by constantly investigating the existential, finding the paradox in apparent reality, Belin presents us with that one unsolvable question of how authentic our own personality is.
