Amanda Bouchenoire (born 1977) is a visual artist from the city of Montpellier, France. Her artistic work has been developed in the field of easel painting and, especially, in artistic photography that has focused on otherness based on reflective surfaces and the creation of new references from photographed reality. Architecture has also been a recurring theme in her photographic work, from which she produces deconstructed images, which have been summarized and commented on together with the work of Eugène Atget and Berenice Abbott.

Biography

Early years

Bouchenoire was born in the city of Montpellier, in the south of France. From the age of six she practiced photography due in part to the fact that for much of her childhood she spent in solitude: she lived her early years in the snowy mountains of El Jura, surrounded by natural exuberance, and to attend school she had to move to cable car sky (alone, in a small cabin). In her mind was recorded the daily route to go up and down the mountain, the pines and the shapes of their branches, and the pedestrian reliefs that characterize the snowy landscape that she routinely traveled and that: they made her intuit what was the source of inspiration for the works of art by the masters of painting that he would later meet in his visits to European museums.[1][2]

Studies

Although her early training in the field of photography was self-taught and developed in daily practice, she eventually studied photography at the Center National D'Enseignement à Distance, in France, and painting techniques at the Center des Arts de San Luis Potosí, SLP., Mexico. Her work in the field of communication, where she worked for several years, was a factor for Bouchenoire to acquire the habit of photographic documentation; With her journalistic work in media such as the French newspaper Midi Libre, and as a documentary and press photographer at the Embassy of Mexico in Germany, in the city of Berlin, she acquired the experience to make documentary photography with artistic criteria.[1]

Photographic work

Bouchenoire's photographic work is made up of images made on reflective surfaces (puddles of water, showcases, glass walls, architectural metal structures) with which she has developed themes around the perception of otherness and subtle references to the defining transience of spaces[1] and non-places, as defined by Marc Augé.

Her work also reflects a pictorialist orientation, especially in the series Strange Surfaces / Metal, and Strange Surfaces / Stones, (example of this are the images entitled Met-27, Met-32, N-2953, N-261, Glaucus, etc. .) with which she has focused on interpretive photographic creation that, in its freest aspect, renounces the mere reproduction of reality. It does this by dematerializing the object and transforming its vision into something so abstract that it simply becomes a formal element.[3][4]

Architecture has also been a recurring theme in her artistic proposal within photography, which has been reviewed along with the work of Eugène Atget and Berenice Abbott: unlike them, Bpouchenoire's photographic work dispenses with the historicist perspective, as Jerome Saltz notes: If the interest of Eugène Atget and Berenice Abbott was historicist, even aware of the aesthetic implications of photography, Bpouchenoire invokes them directly; and yet the three authors coincide in the search for and exaltation of intrinsic beauty in their objectives, regardless of the quality and clarity of their referents.[5][6]
