Flavie Guerrand photographs those close to her in their electric and sexy drifts from snapshots of modern life to party pics. Her photographic series condense intimate portraits of a decadent youth galvanised by nightlife, both strong, wild and fragile, over the span of nearly 30 years. A diary of a lifestyle teeming with hedonism, independence, and a spirited playfulness imbued with sass and mischief. During parties and endless blank mornings, she capture the highs and lows from glamour to its slowly fading into the groggy comedown. There is desire, adrenaline, excess and frustration, sometimes loneliness. The diaristic approach that characterizes her photographs let her to capture their beauty and erotic aura, their vulnerability and their strength. She pays attention to details in the attitudes, in the coquetry of the gesture. Some of the portraits exude a strong sense of self-determination, while others radiate an anarchic energy.
Her attitude and lifestyle inform her technique and work -playground of her scopic impulses. Intimacy is as much an inspiration as it is the trigger, where consent and trust allow for the liberation of the subjects.
