Flora Vever

 ARTIST’S PROFILE

Flora Vever is a visual artist and photographer based in Marseille. Her work explores what it means to live in a female body today, questioning how it is perceived, defined, and sometimes constrained by society.

Through long-term projects, she builds close collaborations with women, creating images that express both strength and vulnerability. She examines how women—and women’s bodies—are perceived, challenging and shifting this gaze while drawing parallels between body and matter, and reclaiming spaces, words, and figures such as the witch. Her images often mirror the way nature is described—tamed, fertile, unpredictable—and the ways women are represented.

Flora treats her photographs as physical objects, altering them through embroidery, burning, painting, or scratching. This material approach reflects her interest in the body as matter, and in creation—through using her own body—as an act of reclamation and resistance. The colour red plays a central role in her work, evoking tension, energy, and power.

Her practice seeks to open spaces for dialogue and re-imagination, where images become tools to question, to heal, and to envision other ways of being.

Read about Flors‘s residency project in her own words… 

“During this residency, I aim to further explore the relationships between bodies and landscapes by using alternative analog processes. By developing my images with solutions made from locally harvested plants, the landscape—and our relationship to it—becomes not only the subject of the images but also an active participant in their creation. The living world speaks through the images, deepening the reflection on materiality.”
