BOUDOT Anaïs, Photography, guest artist, La fabrique des éléments

Born in Metz in 1984, Anaïs Boudot graduated from the École des Beaux Arts de Metz in 2007, from the École nationale supérieure de la photographie d'Arles in 2010 and from Le Fresnoy - National studio of contemporary art - in 2013. Anaïs Boudot's work focuses on the processes by which images appear, and on the exploration of photographic techniques.

Anaïs Boudot's works are fragments of nature and places brought together in a refined, mysterious form. Aesthetically imbued with references to painting and surrealism, they evoke above all the experience of a remembered, dreamed or fantasized image.

Anaïs Boudot's approach is also based on a technical knowledge of the photographic medium, allowing her to create hybrid works mixing silver and digital, or to reappropriate old techniques in order to choose the most appropriate means for her projects. For her, photography often reflects a subjectively felt relationship with time, tense between memory and the expectation of an unveiling.

Glass plate photography has become emblematic of Anaïs Boudot's work in recent years. Initiated in 2015 in the series Eclats de la lune morte, she systematized it from 2016 at Casa Velázquez via the orotones of La Noche Oscura. And it was within this framework that The Eyes Publishing invited Anaïs Boudot to respond to Brassaï and Picasso's experiments on glass, begun in 1932 for the book Les Oubliées, Picasso, Brassaï, Boudot, 2021. In 2022, she continued this practice with the

Jour le jour series, an exploration of the photographic album in her smartphone. In 2024, she is commissioned to restore the stained-glass windows of La Folie, a kiosk at the Cour de Bellême in the Perche, region of France. In 2025, she produces Les Généalogiques, a series of glass house- objects based on the Tiffany stained-glass technique.

A few words about Anaïs Boudot's work

Un rayon dans cette mer sur une lune, 2019

The verse is borrowed from Rainer Maria Rilke’s Poèmes à la nuit (1916); the title of the Un rayon dans cette mer sur une lune series evokes the movement of our gaze
on the world, the movement of our uncertainties. The stones from the Basque coast, eroded by tides and winds, recreate cartographies with their currents, beds, hills and craters, in a rugged and bright materiality. We could see aerial photographs of distant planets or satellites, we could travel by way of imagination in their meanders, we could read graphic signs drawn by the elements.
We could file them amongst the “landscape stones” or “dream stones” dear to Roger Caillois and a certain Asian tradition.*

Whether they are microcosms or macrocosms,
these territories are only inhabitable thanks to our projections... in short, they are transitory objects to our imaginary travels.

* The “image stones” are, according to French writer Roger Caillois, curious, non-precious stones that appear to be seen as true figurative or abstract works of art.
In China, these stones are called gongshi or guai shi (fantastical or strange stones) or shang-sek, suiseki in Japan (sui means water and seki means stones), useok in Korea (eternal stone).

La noche obscura, 2017-18

La Noche Oscura series was produced during Anaïs Boudot’s art residency at The Casa de Velazquez in 2017 and continued in France for the Epilogue part in 2018. It forms a bright counter-point to a nocturnal and mysterious structures; a dark night promenade of the soul. Crossing the landscapes and cities of Spain (Toledo, Segovia, Avila) in the footsteps of Teresa of Avila and Jean de la Croix, she was in search of visions, and places of passages. She ‘gleaned’ images that highlight details from nature where stone and plant material intertwine.

Through their format and their golden background, these photographs achieve the status of object or even of a divinity’s icon of which would be natural and disorderly. Some of these pieces reveal a golden fracture, like a fault through the image, but it also links parts. It recalls the Japanese technique kintsukuroi consisting of repairing broken ceramics with gold, therefore sublimating the breakage, giving value to what has been broken and then repaired without throwing it out.
