Marie Blampain is a conceptual fine art photographer born in 1992 in New Caledonia and currently based in Mexico. Her work is rooted in a studio-based, constructed photographic practice that explores identity, embodiment, and states of transition. Across her projects, existential concerns emerge through familiar situations and the human body, suspending fixed identity and drawing attention to moments of passage, transformation, and becoming. The images she produces are composed with an emphasis on clarity and structure, carefully designed to minimize visual noise and distraction.
