Marguerite Bornhauser

A 2015 graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie d’Arles, from 2019 she will be exhibiting at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris. Since autumn, at the invitation of the Rmn – Grand Palais, she has been surveying the spaces of the Grand Palais, taking a resolutely non-documentary and contemporary look at the building: dominated by color, light and the search for detail, her work reveals the invisible and sublimates the trivial, from the immense electrical sheaths that punctuate the building site to the objects washed up there by chance. In fact, she collects some of them – bolts, padlocks, signs and entrance tickets from another era – in a process of plastic experimentation.
