Iconographia

Iconographia is a four-handed art photography studio created by Armâne Magnier and Clémence Rolland in 2021. After studies in art history, they launch themselves full time in this artistic activity. Rich of their experiences in heritage promotion in large cultural institutions, they propose a new approach to photography.

Through Iconographia, they offer a pictorial vision of photography, a return to its origins in the art of portraiture and composition. The duo puts their knowledge of image analysis at the service of photographic creation. 

Using their extensive knowledge of art history, they create rich, striking images that are staged like works of art. They are inspired by masterpieces, particularly those of women artists, and reinterpret them through the prism of their feminist commitment, which is intrinsic to their work. 

Within Iconographia, they conceive their work as an opening of the museum and art towards more modern and inclusive representations, notably by questioning the notions of body and gender.
