Rachel Fleminger Hudson likes to surprise viewers, blur the lines and play with our certainties. Many of her images seem to have been taken on the spot, capturing a precious instant, a fleeting moment of beauty. In reality, each shot is skilfully staged by the artist. In other series, the British artist fully assumes this orchestration of the image: all her humor and sense of detail are then deployed in these often surprising photos.

Through her work, the artist also seeks to question society's identities, norms and expectations, and above all, the ephemeral nature of these induced rules. In these highly calculated photographs, it is ultimately the search for freedom and individuality that expresses itself.

Come to the MEP this summer to discover this unique exhibition!
