ALEXANDRA CATIERE
ALEXANDRA CATIERE
Alexandra Catiere (1978 born in Minsk, Belarus [former USSR])
Alexandra Catiere investigates the various ways in which the subjectivity of the photographer intrudes upon the content of the image, both through the shooting and editing processes. She freely blends avant-garde and classical techniques. Her black-and-white portraits, landscapes, and interiors are often in extreme close up without fixed center or narrative; in many cases, the image contains only a fragment of a human subject. Shifting back and forth between subjects that acknowledge her presence and those that aren’t even aware they are being photographed, Catiere’s work strongly emphasizes the formal qualities of light, shadow, and space, avoiding any documentary ends.
Alexandra Catiere was born in Minsk (USSR, now Belarus). In 2000 she moved to Moscow and began to take an interest in photography, then travelled to New York in 2003 to study at the International Center of Photography (ICP). In 2005 she began working in the studio of Irving Penn. In 2005 Alexandra Catiere was included in the list of 20 most promising emerging photographers of New York and became a participant of Art & Commerce, a traveling exhibition of emerging photographers, fist shown at D.U.M.B.O., NYC. Two years later Catiere was named an emerging star of international photography scene by the magazine American Photo. In 2008 she moved to Paris.
