Fine Art: Honorable Mention 2025 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
In dialogue with Lotte Maes, in our hometown Ghent, between the quiet walls, darkroom dust and hollow lights. The quiet conversation led to a search: where can our shadows land? They shape themselves between our words, our worlds, and the unspoken shivers of the flemish winters.
AUTHOR
Pauline Raybaud is a french-belgian photographer, author, and performer. She studied fine art at Central Saint Martins London, where she looked into the realms of analogue photography and filmmaking, going back to the essence of these mediums, later merged with writing and performance art. Her vision got her to dig even more into the world of literature, resulting in further Master studies at Sorbonne Paris. From there, her practice led to work with the merging of these various means of expression, allowing her to extend her research and new ways to convey it. Along, she kept training as an actress both in Paris and London, exploring more ways of physical expression. She is now works between these two cities, but kept her studio base in her hometown, Ghent Belgium.
in her practice, Pauline explores the merging of literal and visual arts, as well as body language and the freeing of emotions. Her work combines cinematographic medium as well as photography, mise en scene, and writing, with a will for collaboration and inclusive approach toward the notions of identity. Inspired by literature and mythology, her work is tinted by poetry, whilst addressing the realms of nowadays questionings, with a feminine eye.
