Magdéleine Ferru is a photographer by trade. She explores the world for a while and return full of strong feelings, scattered, fascinating and the desire to share them.
She likes material, she likes paper, she likes multi-dimensional. She goes back to the dark room and experiments divers alternative photographic technics : cyanotype, polaroid, pinhole, caffenol… She learns basic binding technics with Marjon Mudde and at the Museum of Mariemont (Belgium) and she studies paper making. Artist books take a growing place in her art practice, mixing visual and feeling. Random and unexpected results of this technics and materials used to make her books makes her project unique. They invite the viewer to dream, to wander, to questioning also.
She learns to take time again, in the dark room or when making paper, to let the sun and the wind do their magic, be patient, let grow…
Her work is primarily in the field of photography and artist books, blending the first to all kind of plastic technics, paper, sewing, embroidering, binding, etc…
Her work has been exhibited in Europe, Japan, and United States.
