如雕塑般的女性面庞，如橱窗中栩栩如生的模特假人：瓦莱丽·蓓琳通过把玩图像与真实之间的张力，将这些“陈像”展现在观众面前。围绕着身体，身份，人工等主题，蓓琳运用她的技术天赋创造出了具有怪诞美感的迷人图像。本次瓦莱丽·蓓琳的摄影作品回顾展览将在三影堂摄影艺术中心（5月26日-6月18日）和上海摄影艺术中心（7月2日至8月24日）展出，呈现这位世界著名摄影师从处女作到使用数字和叠加技术的最新作品。本次展览由上海摄影艺术中心艺术总监凯伦·史密斯和三影堂摄影艺术中心策展人沈宸共同策划。

In 2017, Croisements festival celebrates its 12th year anniversary. Over the past 12 years, Croisements has become the leading international festival in China, as well as France’s biggest overseas festival. Every spring, it demonstrates to Chinese audiences the strength of France’s creative sector and showcases Franco-Chinese crossovers in a range of disciplines: theatre, dance, classical and contemporary music, popular music, visual arts, new media, cinema, books and debate. The 12th Croisements festival will take place from May 6 to July 9 in 30 Chinese cities, with more than 60 programs.
Statuesque faces of women, shop-front mannequins that appear alive: in playing with the tension between image and reality, the clichés of Valérie Belin are there to provoke the viewer. Revolving around the themes of the body, identity and the artificial, Belin uses her technical talent to develop fascinating images imbued with a strange beauty. The exhibition, held in Beijing at the Three Shadows Photography Art Centre and Shanghai at the SCôP, is a retrospective of the work of this world-renowned artist, from her very first projects to her latest experiments in digital and overlay techniques. The exhibition is jointly curated by Karen Smith, Art Director of Shanghai Center of Photography, and Chen Shen, Curator of Three Shadows Photography Art Centre.
