Alongside her personal practice, Hélène's photography has found its way into print, galleries and institutions — as the author of her own books, as the imagery chosen for other writers' covers, and in her long-running work for a major museum.

Cover of the photography book Errances, by Hélène Desplechin and Hans Limon

Errances

With Hans Limon · Jacques Flament Éditions, 2017 · Images&mots · 80 pages, 210×210mm

Ghosts of fact, caught in the perforated weave of the Word. Thirty-four shifting stations along two intersecting paths — a shared wandering at the confluence of the arts, between the photographer's chiaroscuro and the poetry of writer Hans Limon.

Cover of the photography book Le Règne Aquatique, by Hélène Desplechin

Le Règne Aquatique

Jacques Flament Éditions, 2016 · Short Series · 48 pages, 225×160mm

She loves water — the liquid element, the filter it casts over things, its distorted vision of life, its magic, its dreamlike blur. She loves to see and show what usually goes unseen or is hard to see, to stop an instant, and to open the viewer's eye to a new way of seeing.

Institutions & exhibitions

Alongside her personal work, Hélène is a photographer at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, where she carries out technical studies, documents conservation and restoration treatments, photographically reproduces the museum's paintings, and records its institutional life. Her own work has been exhibited in Spain and France, published in several magazines, and chosen as cover imagery for books published internationally.
