French artist
among the most important contemporary photographers working today. Her personal investigations into the beauty and flow of time from her studio in Paris has forged an unmistakable visual vocabulary that has shaped images from a dream-like world balanced between fantasy images and the fluid nature of reality.
With her visions in a deliberately evanescent form, the artist evokes moments, sensations and coincidences filtered by memory and the unconscious.
She creates and develops a very personal universe, around three main themes:the evanescence of beauty, the uncertain, and the passing of time.
Moon’s photographs are mysterious. Full of dramatic tension and yet reserved, they represent uncharted worlds, glimpsed in a shaft of light. As she herself says, her images speak for her.
