Charlotte Dumas dessine et peint dés son plus jeune âge, et commence également très tôt, à s'intéresser à la photographie. Au fur et à mesure que sa passion grandit, elle devient photographe professionnelle, et développe des sujets qui lui tiennent à cœur. Charlotte Dumas à reçu en 2008 le prix De Scheffer du Musée Dordrecht pour son projet Palermo 7. A l'occasion du Mois de la Photo 2012, la photographe présente deux séries : Anima, et Retrieved. L'une est consacrée aux chevaux d'Arlington National Cemetery, et l'autre aux chiens de recherche des attentats du 11 septembre 2001. Les expositions sont présentées à l'Institut néerlandais de Par...
Charlotte Dumas, Anima
Dans le cadre du Mois de la Photo 2012 à Paris l’Institut néerlandais présente la première exposition individuelle de la photographe néerlandaise Charlotte Dumas en France. Charlotte Dumas (1977) s’intéresse à la relation homme/animal et sa place dans l’histoire. Elle est fascinée par les animaux qui ont développé une relation avec les êtres humains. Cette photographe présente ses modèles, (chiens policiers, chevaux, loups, tigres), avec un immense sentiment de présence et de caractère. Elle puise son inspiration chez les peintres du xixe siècle, Eugène Delacroix et Théodore Géricault. Attirée par l’héroïsme et la position des animaux dans l’histoire des humains, elle leur rend hommage par les portraits qu’elle r...

Representations of animals are ubiquitous in our culture, from advertising hoardings, to newspapers and television, to hundreds of thousands of images uploaded every day to the internet. Human beings, it seems, are obsessed by the image of the animal. Animals are also consistently subjects of public controversy, whether in relation to animal rights, agro-industrialisation, conservation or genetic engineering.
Over the last two decades, artists have sought to question...
Anima and The Widest Prairies is the first UK solo exhibition by Dutch artist Charlotte Dumas (b. 1977, Netherlands). It features her first moving image work Anima (2012), a contemplative video capturing the caisson burial horses of Arlington National Cemetery in the United States as they slowly drift in and out of sleep in their stables.
Also on display are selected photographs from her latest series The Widest Prairies (2013) made while tracking wild horses in Nevada. Charlotte Dumas’ compelling images of animals aim to provoke subtle relationships between the viewers and the subject, presenting them as catalysts for our emotions. Her tender portrayals express a vulnerability that is as much about the human onlookers as the animals.

Foam_Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam presents Paradis: the first major retrospective of the work of Dutch photographer Charlotte Dumas (b. 1977, Vlaardingen). Dumas makes serene, intimate portraits of animals. For the first time, Dumas presents a selection from the various series of animal portraits she has made in recent years. Shown here in a single exhibition, a new relationship emerges between the portraits of horses, wolves, tigers and other animals, highlighting the connection between the different subjects. Dumas also presents a selection of the polaroids she has taken on the side since she began and which provide tangible evidence of her extensive travels in pursuit of her subject.
It was at the Rijksakademie that she made her first series of animal portraits - five police dogs - which grew from a fascination with ...
