Photographe, vidéaste, peintre Mélanie Challe est basée à Paris et en Ardèche.
De ses débuts de photographe autodidacte, il y a presque dix ans, Mélanie Challe conserve une fraîcheur de regard, un sens de l'expérimentation et une attitude décomplexée vis-à-vis de la diversité des sujets qu'elle aborde. Elle reste également attachée au décloisonnement des pratiques, en témoignent ses collaborations dans le cadre de réalisations vidéo et de web documentaires.
Elle joue entre l'affirmation de la planéité du support et le travail sur les perspectives, comme un va-et-vient entre deuxième et troisième dimensions. Ce dialogue est soutenu par l'aspect très graphique, voire pictural, des images.
Jouer sur les décalages pour questionner ce qui est généralement admis participe de l'attitude impliquée de la photographe. Il s'agit d'un engagement profond, exprimé de façon diffuse et subtile : on le perçoit comme un tempo rythmant l'ensemble de son travail. L'artiste embrasse le monde et le transmet au spectateur selon sa propre vision : avec curiosité, avec une tendresse bienveillante et sans préconception.

Photographer, director, and painter, Mélanie Challe is based in Paris, France. From the beginning almost ten years ago, as a self-taught photographer, Mélanie Challe has always kept a fresh eye, a sense of experimentation and a genuine openness towards her subjects, regardless of their diversity. She has always sought to remove the barriers between people through her medium, working in collaboration with many others through photography and video in a variety of print and digital formats, including magazine, web and television documentary. Alternating between flat surfaces and traditional perspective, she weaves comfortably back and forth between two and three dimensional ways of seeing. This dialogue is underlined by a very graphic visual vocabularly which speaks as much about the artistic mediums she chooses to work in, as her subjects. An essential part of Melanie Challe?s work is playing with and displaying the ruptures in our every day world in order to call into question our commonly accepted attitudes. Deeply committed, it permeates her work in subtle, rhythmic and delicate ways, providing it with an overarching sensibility when seen in the larger context of all of her oeuvres. Hers is an embrace of the world, attempting to transmit to her spectators her own special outlook on life, one of curiousity, kindness and above all openness without preconceptions.Photographer, director, and painter, Mélanie Challe is based in Paris, France.
