« There is always enough strength for everyone to accomplish what he is convinced of » Goethe

Convinced that I had to escape from my everyday life, it was in Berlin that I made a stop. Berlin is a city of art, culture, and history, a capital in perpetual motion. Berlin offers to those who like to get lost its countless arteries, in search of light and shadow.

Fragile balance of the « in-between »

Celine leads a poetic reflection on the world surrounding her..

Her move to the USA in 2009 marked the beginning of her photographic commitment. Her writing developed over the course of her travels, her everyday life, and her inquiries.

« How to appropriate a territory depending on one’s own story » is a question that often keeps coming back, because here or elsewhere, that doesn’t matter.

Her photography seeks to define the outlines of a dream able to transcend the « here and now. »

It is a gaze that moves away from reality to better reveal its poetry.
