more about : carte blanche Sophie Delaporte
“Sophie Delaporte is a French photographer who is on permanently good terms with fantasy and a cheerfully offbeat approach. She has a distinctive sense of color, a fabulist’s imagination, an edge of surrealism, and a knack for ambiguous narrative”. – Vicki Goldberg, photography historian and critic.
As an artist, Sophie Delaporte tries to have a subversive outlook, engaged on themes that are dear to her, such as women or the environment.
She is the winner of the Eyes on Talent photography and sustainability Grand Prix. This prize, organized in partnership with the city of Paris, aimed at raising awareness on the ecological impact of the fashion industry. Her photographs were exhibited on this occasion in front of the Hotel de Ville in November 2019, during the last edition of Paris Photo.
Sophie Delaporte on her inspiration for this serie: “In these images, I try to take an artistic, poetic, maybe a little surrealistic look on the theme of water and reflection. My images are very often mental images. Rather than just focusing on photographing women’s bodies, I like to try to show what is on their mind.”

“Postmodern Mysteries” exhibition New York
French artist Sophie Delaporte cavorts and delights with a provocative series of absurd photographs.
by Miss Rosen, May 29th, 2016.
Liberated from the confines of objective reality and absolute truth, postmodernism is truly a twentieth century mindset. With a passion for moral relativism, self-referentiality and subjectivity, postmodernism has become a highly popular perspective shared by people from all walks of life. It’s inherently nihilistic, and righteously so, preferring to focus on the fragment rather than the whole. In changing perspective, we lose touch with the known, entering into a world of illusions where all things are true regardless of fact. Postmodernism is the matrix. Might not be any coming back.

Paper Theatre by Sophie Delaporte
“My approach to photography has always been quite “plasticien”. In this series, I was interested in the sculptural dimension of Rei Kawabuko’s dresses. I like to work on color as some classic painters may have done. using a piece of clothing as raw material. I don’t think about a piece of clothing as a consumer product (which is often the case in fashion photography). I prefer to think of it as a second skin, an image of one’s soul. The characters evolve on one set, just like in a small theatre. Like in all my work, what is real and what is pretense is not clearly defined”.

True Colors, exhibition by Sophie Delaporte
Galerie Joseph, 236 rue Saint Martin, 75003 Paris
19/02/2015 – 02/04/2015
On the occasion of the exhibition “True Colors, Sophie Delaporte feat. Melissa Mourer Ordener”, Sophie Delaporte shows 48 photographs and 4 videos she has directed, using the colorful palette that has always been at the heart of her creations.
In a small room, her muse, the performance artist, Melissa Mourer Ordener, dressed in overalls, is deconstructing fragile installations; mechanically putting colored masks in front of her face; reacting to giant plumes of smoke, blowing up and moving balloons. We can hear the muse’s voice, sometimes breathless, whispering or screaming. An industrial sound accompanies the mechanicals movements.
The work talk of politics, economics, environmentalism, artistic questions, as well as the state of emergency confronting our present society and the role and responsibility of artists and scientists.
This event is part of United Nation celebration “International year of light 2015”.
