Duplain, who has challenged herself for 11 years to take a self-portrait every day during the month of February. In a bilingual performance that honors her roots, she assumes the roles of artistic director, photographer, model, stylist, makeup artist, hairdresser, designer, and much more. Her goal is to excel at conveying 1,000 words in a single image, capturing the essence of her creative vision in every shot.
An interesting fact is that she started this project at the beginning of her photography journey, making it fun to observe the tangible evolution of the artist over the years. Each year brings new challenges, techniques, and perspectives, showcasing her growth and adaptability. A significant part of the project’s value lies in its potential for future growth, especially considering that Vé has no intention of stopping the project. Her continuous innovation keeps the project fresh and engaging, ensuring its relevance in the art world. Where will she be in 10 more years?
The use of social media platforms to share her art makes it a unique event where people can closely observe Véronique’s daily life in this ambitious project. Viewers will see behind-the-scenes clips of her and her small team working tirelessly throughout the month to create visual narratives. These clips share stories, process evolution, tips and tricks, and lots of content that resonate with her followers, fostering a deep connection with her audience.
She stands out with her brightly colored universe, her bold eclectic post-modern style, and her images and installations that tell elaborate narratives. Her approach is driven by a voluntary imposition of creative constraints that foster the development of new processes and the integration of available technologies such as robotics and 3D printing into her mediums of creative expression. This blend of traditional artistry and cutting-edge technology highlights her innovative spirit.
One click, an entire universe.
She makes it look easy.
