Bio


Marie Déhé, artist, lives and works between Paris and L’Isle-Adam (FR).

Déhé’s work focuses on the interstices of daily life. A self-taught photographer, her work is based on the immediate experiences of her own body and of those closest to her.

Marie Déhé plies photography as a “gesture of encounter” with the ordinary and the living. She documents and archives the bonds intrinsic to personal and social spheres. Since 2017, she has photographed her domestic environment daily, integrating the experiences of motherhood and family life into a practice which reflects on the practical and political issues involved in representing the intimate from a feminist perspective.

Déhé’s interest in publishing led to her creation in late 2022 of Asiro Editions through which she published her third book, Correspondance, a 280-day conversation with the photographer Joséphine Löchen.
Her first two books, We Have Been Meaning To (2020) and Distant Intimacy (2022) published by Art Paper Editions, were Les Rencontres photographiques d’Arles Photo-Text Award finalists in 2020 and 2022, respectively.

In February 2024, Ce qui nous lie, Déhé’s series of hand stitched photographs, was presented by Tender Books (London) in the group exhibition Tender Looks. 

Currently, Marie Déhé is working on a collective research and archive project on the representation and visibility of artist mothers.

Alongside her personal practice, Déhé collaborates with brands including Erès, Baserange, re/done, and Pringle of Scotland and such publications as Profane, M le Monde, The Skirt Chronicles, and Re-edition.
