Photographer and videographer from Rennes, Muriel Bordier stages our modernity to better raise aberrations by choosing elements belonging to our collective memory and the cultural codes of our society.
Her human representations are very small in size, placed voluntarily in monumental architecture designed using a 3D software to better highlight their vulnerability . About fifty photographs for each character constitute the raw material of each composed work.
In the series of "Thermes", plays mischiefly with this inventory of social conduct in a thermal setting, almost always empty of water. The works invites us to appreciate Muriel’s hilarious and surrealist reading of the contemporary world.
