Elodie Grethen

FRANCE

Elodie Grethen (b. 1988), is a French artist and photographer working between Austria and France. Through her artistic practice, she investigates the relationship between space, body, and society. Focusing on the notions of gender, intimacy, and belonging, photography is for her a means to reflect on the construction of both individual and social identities. In her project “Guarding Lions”, she offers a contemporary portrayal of activists and artists fighting for feminist and queer equality in Bosnia and Herzegovina. She uses the camera to create an idealized and imaginary refuge, a safe space, which does not yet find its translation in reality.
