Portrait of Shen Özdemir, Diego Herman and Sylvain Delbecque by Romane Iskaria / Portrait of Romane Iskaria by Julie Pollet

Romane Iskaria works on the history of the Assyrians and, through documentary, bears witness to the desire of this stateless community to reconnect with its origins. Through fiction and poetry, the artist nevertheless gives another face to the documentary. "During the last months of my residency," explains Romane, "I had some very strong reactions in my work. I have been looking for new mediums to show one of my documentary projects and to highlight a story. My photography takes on a sculptural aspect that was not planned at the beginning. I come to model, to sculpt my supports. This allows me to question my entire approach to photography."
