Aline Deschamps
(student)
Aline Deschamps is a Franco - Thai photographer. Since her teenage years she combines both an interest for geopolitics and arts. She graduated from a Master of International Relations (La Sorbonne- Paris1) and in Digital Media Arts (EPSAA).
She starts her first exhibition in high school Regards sur l'enfance at the Paris City Council (13th district), for UNICEF. In 2011 she organizes one of JR's INSIDE OUT in Chiang Mai with Thai monks, she then spends one year in South America where she captures the practices of shamanism (Salas - Peru) and the daily life of street kids (Cochabamba - Bolivia).
She begins her first unwilled photographic experimentation by accidentally mixing her travel film rolls. This resulted in a double exposure between different countries - which became a larger and participative project she directed called Serendipity. It was exhibited as part of the Rencontres Photographiques du 10e (Paris) in 2016.
Aline grew an early interest for street photography and urban arts. She was the official photographer of Djerbahood an open-sky museum project in Tunisia which photos have been published internationally and in an eponymous book. In 2015 the Djerbahood book edited by Beaux-livres of Albin Michel received the prize Bernier awarded by the Académie des Beaux-Arts of France.
Aline is now a freelance photographer and a cultural project manager. She created the 3K Project with Hossein Farmani (Lucie Foundation) in which they both curate a photo contest as an answer to the Muslim ban (2017). She also writes for the magazine L'Oeil de la Photographie. She currently lives between Paris and Bangkok.
