Marion Belanger. A Discussion about Beauty, Anxiety and Tectonic Plates. And Photography.

L’an passé, notre correspondant new-yorkais, Raphael Shammaa réunissait dans une conversation vidéo, les membres du Birthday Club, cinq femmes photographes diplômées de Yale à la même époque. Aujourd’hui, il consacre un entretien à l’une d’entre elles : Marion Belanger. Lauréate en 2017 du prix international Shpilman pour l’excellence en photographie, Marion a publié l’année précédente, « Rift | Fault » aux éditions Radius Books. Un travail qui documente Rift/Fault documente le déplacement des bords de la plaque nord-américaine le long du rift nord-atlantique.
