Adeline Care is a photographer. Born in 1993 in southwestern France and a graduate of the École des Gobelins in Paris, she works exclusively with film in an increasingly digital photographic landscape—an aesthetic and philosophical choice that defines her vision.
In 2019, she won the Picto Prize for Fashion Photography with *Aithō, je brûle*: a series of photographs taken on the slopes of Mount Etna, where the human figure gradually disappears into a sublime yet hostile environment. The images, almost lunar in quality, straddling the line between reality and mythology, immediately establish her artistic territory: beauty as an unsettling presence, nature as a force beyond our control. Select prints from this series are available in a limited edition exclusively at Studio Artera.
Following this award, she exhibited at the Fisheye Gallery in Paris, then at 100% l'Expo at La Villette, before having her series screened at the ON/OFF Festival during the Rencontres d'Arles in 2023. In 2022, she received a special mention from the jury of the Villa Noailles photography competition and exhibited her work at the BnF as part of "La Photographie à tout prix."
In 2024, Adeline Care presents *Marseille, Tempête* in a solo exhibition at Galerie Madé in Paris. This new body of work explores natural forces from a poetic yet intense perspective: the sea, the wind, and the Mediterranean light are treated as characters as much as they are phenomena. Her film-based practice lends these images a physical density, a grain that anchors the real in something eternal.
His work is exhibited internationally: the Institut Français in Beijing, BOZAR in Brussels, and the Rencontres d'Arles.
Adeline Care's works are as enjoyable as a new tale. Tinged with mythology and mysticism, they evoke the fragility of the human condition and the destructive power of the elements. Here, Nature has reclaimed her rights, displaying her original strength through a surreal palette of colors. Forged on the sharp slopes of Mount Etna, his near-lunar photographs show the gradual disappearance of Man in an environment as sublime as it is hostile. It's as if Dante's Inferno had crossed paths with Interstellar. These impressive visuals are an invitation to contemplate, at home or in the office, to take a few moments to recharge our batteries before the magnificence of this unpredictable Nature, which constantly reminds us that we are only guests on this incredible planet. To explore these universes, Adeline Care uses a wide variety of formats, from postcards to photographs measuring more than a metre in length, to offer the public the chance to appreciate the power of the elements from different angles.
Photographer and filmmaker Adeline Care divides her time between the hustle and bustle of Paris and the soothing lands of the South-West. In 2022, she will be at the Institut Français in Beijing in a group show - "Sight of Wind" and at the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels - BOZAR - group show - "Émergences.fr". Her work is presented as part of the "Close-Up" exhibition organized by Studio Artera and curated by Elora Weill-Engerer, from January 28 to February 27, 2022.
In October 2022, she won a special mention from the jury of the Villa Noailles photography competition, before exhibiting her finest work at the BnF in the "La Photographie à tout prix" exhibition until March 2023. In 2023, her photographs are again presented as part of the group show "La Photographie à tout prix" at the Bibliothèque François Mitterand, an event that testifies to her growing recognition in the world of photography. In October 2022, she won a special mention from the jury of the Villa Noailles photography competition, before exhibiting her finest work at the BnF in the "La Photographie à tout prix" exhibition until March 2023.
