We evolve by stepping on others, whether it is insects, animals, plants or humans. From the moment you are unwanted you are pushed away, smashed, burned, and disposed of. Companies make people relocate demolishing their houses; booming cities burn down valleys, pushing and killing its wildlife; societies exterminate the unwanted rodents and people. We all live on this planet and yet, everyone is someone else’s unwanted pest.
Born in New Caledonia in 1992, Marie Blampain discovered a growing interest in photography during her "Certificate of Design and Visual Arts" in Auckland, New Zealand, followed by a Bachelor's degree (major in photography) that she completed in November 2015. Photography became for her a real source of personal fulfillment. It is indeed during the realization of her creations that Marie feels most in tune with herself. Her practice combines an interest in portraiture and conceptualism constructing narrative scenarios and controlled compositions.
