Biography

Catherine Poncin was born in 1953. She lives and works in Paris-France and Tangier-Morocco. Memory and the archive are the research subjects that the artist explores beyond borders. She responds to carte blanche and carries out personal work during which she explores the field of historical, architectural, industrial, literary, scientific, sociological and political heritage. The artist finds anonymous photographs on the markets, revisits family albums, reveals archive collections, questions the flow of images on the web. Then she duplicates them and appropriates this iconographic material. The resulting artistic creations come in the form of photographic pieces, artist's books, videos, films, installations, performances, workshops, editions.
