Yasmine Attoumane

Born on Reunion Island, Yasmine Attoumane is a photographer, video artist, performer and installation artist.

She grew up in the village of Rivière des Galets, near the river of the same name. From an early age, she was fascinated by the island’s natural landscapes, where volcanoes, cirques, mountains, rivières, gullies, coasts and shores are constantly undergoing intensive erosion, whether terrestrial or man-made. These transformations of the earth instinctively led her to research the theme of territory.

Her early work focused on the Rivière des Galets, where she carried out in situ experiments in the riverbed, taking photographs and creating ephemeral installations and performances. Conceptual and minimalist aesthetics are recurrent in the artist’s work. It is imbued with a hint of absurdity, derision and poetry, conferring on this work a profound dimension on the question of inhabiting a place, a country, the earth….
