ABOUT THE ARTIST

Brigitte Henry lives and works in Montreal. After studies in photography at the Cégep du Vieux-Montréal, she begins her Waterproof, portrait sous l’eau project that earned her numerous prestigious prizes and the publication of this project at L’effet pourpre. This underwater photographic study was for her, a first step towards the materialization of her fascination for the human body in a state of weightlessness. She fiddles with spaces to transform their sense, to suggest another dimension to it or to propose another reality. She creates doubt and ambiguity between reality and fiction. Her pictures suggest a world situated at the frontier of dreaming. The strange and the unusual live in these images that become an intrigue for the ones looking at them. She has recently presented her photographs form Waterproof series in the French Institute of Prague.
