Flore Prébay
Born in 1998 in Paris
Flore Prébay, a visual photographer born in 1998 in Paris, explores the world through an approach sensory, where photography becomes an emotional language, a means of expressing what escapes words. Graduating with a Bachelor's degree in 2020, she opened her studio, Dépoli, in Malakoff, and directs his practice of fashion photography towards a more experimental approach and plastic. She reworks her watercolor prints, mixing painting and photography on paper handcrafted by his uncle, a paper craftsman. This unique medium, far from being neutral, becomes an essential actor in the work, extending the artistic vision and intention.
Flore questions the ephemeral, the territory – at once geographical, human and emotional – as well as the human condition, by offering images where each detail carries an intimate echo. His creations are constructed like an inner quest, attentive to the invisible, to the unspeakable, and to the fragility of existence. She reinvents personal subjects through a subtle plastic gesture, where each work becomes a sensitive reflection of reality.
In 2023, she was a finalist for the Prix Picto de la Mode with her series Illusion, exhibited at the Palais Galliera as well as at the OFF des Rencontres d'Arles, at the La PAGODE gallery. The following year, in 2024, she was again a finalist for the Prix Picto de la Mode thanks to her series Onirique. The same year, she was selected for the Prix des Jeunes Talents des Agents Associés and presented her work at the Agence VU'. She also created Deuil Blanc, an intimate series on the theme of mourning, which will be selected for the Salon Approche – Unrepresented 2025, with the support of Initial Labo. To mark the occasion, a unique artist's book will be published in a limited edition, in collaboration with Ruscombe Mill Paper and Laurel Parker Books. The work will be included in the national collections of the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), acquired by Héloïse Conesa.
In May 2025, she hosted a photo studio at the Circulation(s) Festival, where she combined fashion and tulle in a photographic performance. In October 2025, she participated in the 10th Rencontres SATELLITE and exhibited at the Fisheye Gallery until November. She was also selected for the Biennale de l'Image Tangible 2025, where she will present the series Deuil Blanc.

Frédéric Froument
Born in 1971 in France.
Began photography in 1993 after completing graduate studies in art history. He worked for ten years for the French and international press as a photographer. From 2000, he focused more particularly on urban changes which characterize the beginning of the century. The series "Tokyo Alone" and "Shanghai, a final concession» are exhibited in galleries and museums and lead him to get closer to the world of architecture and urban planning. He collaborates with Tongji Institute of Urban Planning during
the development of the Shanghai World Expo (EXPO) and participates in exhibitions international with the CIVA of Brussels, the Institute of the City in Movement in Paris, the prefecture from Kumamoto in Japan and the cities of Shanghai and Montreal. He exhibited at the biennial "September of photography” of Lyon and participates in the urban planning meetings “Uni(di)versité” with the cultural service of the French Embassy in Rome. From then on, the architectural dimension of the photography will remain at the center of his visual concerns.
In 2007 he moved to Mile End in Montreal, Canada. He then became involved in projects activists linked to urban ecology and local cultural revitalization. In 2015 he moved to Japan. He then worked with local authorities on strategies for
cultural revitalization in rural areas and micro-publishing. Resident in France since 2018, his practice is now mainly oriented towards the in situ installation. Deeply nourished by the history of representation, his projects photographic artists relentlessly question the relationships between images, their registers of use and their means of diffusion. His current work is inhabited by the notions of territory and intimacy, domestic space and vernacular architecture presenting themselves
as its preferred areas of visual exploration.
