about
Delphine Blast is a French photographer whose work is distinguished by an assertive commitment to the field and a sensitive, singular visual style. Her free documentary style blends photography, staging, visual interventions and participatory practices, giving rise to hybrid works in which reality and reinvention feed off one another. Her images are fragments of shared narratives, often constructed with those she meets. She defends a photography of relationships, with the desire to value trajectories that are often marginalized, and to instill pride and recognition. Her work is rooted in territories riven by social, political and cultural tensions.
Delphine Blast photographs to create links. To give voice through images.
