Émilie Delugeau
Zuhause
In the fall of 2017 I moved into my current apartment on Eisenbahnstrasse in Berlin, Kreuzberg with my daughter Emma.
Since then I have often been asked why I, as a single mother, don't prefer to move back to my home in France. This question seems to occupy the people around me a lot, and so I soon asked myself what exactly home is.
Is home a place, a language, a landscape, a feeling? Is home where I am, or where I come from, where I was born?
In an attempt to answer these questions, I began photographing my immediate surroundings whenever I discovered something in them that felt like home.
Émilie Delugeau (b. in 1979 in Parthenay, France) lives and works in Berlin. After receiving her M.A. from the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles, she completed her studies by doing a Post-Grad Class in the Ostkreuz Schule for Photography Berlin.
Her work has been recently presented in solo exhibitions, including Centre d´Art photographique "La Villa Pérochon", Niort (2022); Institut Français, EMOP Berlin (2023).
In her work, she stages the spaces and people of her everyday life in pictorial short stories.
