Born in 1985, Marie Roussel is a French artist whose work explores memory, time, absence, and persistence. Through the photographic object, she questions the memory inscribed in matter, where each alteration becomes a sign of the gaze and a melancholic vestige of the past. Her collected glass plates reveal what they preserve, erase, or allow to be reborn in other forms, constituting territories of evocation where the visible meets the invisible, where traces become relief. At the heart of her research lies the presence of absence: she shapes interior landscapes where past and present intertwine, where fragility becomes poetic force, suspended between disappearance and survival.
