Atelier Wonderful's photography month continues with a selection of works by French artist and photographer Laure Bollinger.

The result of her random ramblings through a variety of locales, Bollinger's work attempts to appropriate the territory.
In contrast to the the heaviness of the world and the frenzy of the city, she offers a light, fluid poetry, where time is suspended--allowing local inhabitants and objects the chance to reveal themselves.

The artist's vision is intimately revealed to us in the form of two small books.
The "I learned to love the city in the same way one who hates cats eventually learns to love them," and the "Hems" series takes us back into Saigon's alleyways, residential refuges where each object and every silhouette seems to offer its own sweet resistance to the surrounding chaotic universe.

Under the form of two small books vision of the artists is intimately revealed.
“I learned how to love the city like we learn how to love cats when we don't love cats.” and “Hems” drive us through privileged refuges where each object, each figure seems to oppose a sweet resistance to the around universe.

"Ville Nouvelle" - a series of photographs taken in Con Dao Island's newest district – reveals the town's attempted occupation of nature, stopped in its tracks even before the former has had a chance to populate itself. On these ghostly streets, nature takes its revenge step by step...

Laure Bollinger studied at the Cergy Pontoise School of Fine Arts and has been living in Ho Chi Minh City for nearly two years.
