Vic Orth is a young photographer from Lyon. She graduated in cultural project management and is currently based in Paris. 

Driven by a need to express her relationship to her identity and body, her practice of analog photography developed since she came of age and led to a first series of self-portraits. 

One summer, she met the photographer Gil Rigoulet at the Grand-Place in Brussels and became his assistant and friend. 

She developed a sensitive, authentic photography that became more structured, and had her first exhibitions in Arles, Brussels and Paris.

In 2020, with a mirror in one hand and a film camera in the other, Vic begins her series Corps à Corps: self-portraits in natural light and film development made between her shower and sink.

The series comes to life as an ode to the fluidity of gender expression and materializes through a need to explore this spectrum. Her images revolve around bodies, their lines, and their singularity.

Intimate by nature, these moments behind the camera first appear to her as a personal journey of discovering the abundance and possibilities of the self. 

Little by little, she brings in models, both female and male, into her world. A new temporality emerges: from self-portraits, she moves to the bodies of others, from the rejection of the binary to the mixing of skins, becoming in turn the mirror. 

She tries to think the self beyond structures.
