Cédrine Scheidig (b.1994, FR) is a photographer of French-Caribbean heritage living and working between Paris and the Caribbean. Her work is an exploration of Caribbean imaginaries that transcend geographic borders, offering a vision of identity as a continuous act of becoming. Driven by a poetic and critical lens that seeks to move beyond the boundaries of traditional documentary, she examines the intricate and sometimes contradictory ways in which youths reimagine both themselves and their communities in an era shaped by postcolonial and neoliberal realities.

Contrary to representations of the Caribbean made up of deserted beaches and flourishing exotic nature, it is urban practices and the forms of resistance they produce that are at the heart of her attention. Drawing on the idea of an associative language, so prevalent in the rhizome thinking of Caribbean poet and philosopher Edouard Glissant, she explores the complex dimensions of contemporary Caribbeanity.

Her work has been presented in several group exhibitions, including Fotografia Europea Festival (2023, Italy), Rencontres de Guyane (2023, Guyane), Encontros da Imagem (2023, Portugal), Plat(t)form Fotomuseum Winterthur (2022, Switzerland), Dior Prize w/ LUMA Foundation (2021, Arles), Rencontres internationales de la photographie (2021, Arles) and in a debut solo exhibition at Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris, in February 2023. She has been nominated among the British Journal Photography «Ones to Watch» (2022, UK), and shortlisted for the C/O Talent Award (2022, Germany) among others. She has been recipient of the Dior Photography and Visual Arts Award for Young Talents in 2021 and the PhMuseum Women Photographers Grant in 2023.

Cédrine Scheidig le (née en 1994, FR) est une photographe franco-caribéenne basée entre Paris et la Caraïbe. Sa pratique photographique, inscrite entre l’Europe et les Amériques, explore les dimensions complexes de la caribéanité contemporaine à travers des connexions “rhizomatiques” - subtiles mais significatives - entre différents territoires, et des jeunes qui se reconnaissent mutuellement malgré leur dispersion géographique. Portée par un regard poétique et critique qui cherche à dépasser les cadres du documentaire traditionnel, elle interroge les façons complexes et parfois contradictoires dont les jeunes réimaginent leurs identités et leurs communautés à l’ère des réalités postcoloniales et néolibérales.

Contrairement aux représentations des Caraïbes faites de plages désertes et d'une nature exotique florissante, ce sont les pratiques urbaines et les formes de résistance qu'elles engendrent qui sont au cœur de son attention. S’appuyant sur l’idée d’un langage associatif, si présente dans la pensée en rhizomatique du poète et philosophe caribéen Édouard Glissant, elle explore les dimensions complexes de la caribéanité contemporaine.

Exposée aux Rencontres d’Arles et présentée à Paris Photo en 2021, elle gagne le Prix Dior de la Photographie pour jeunes talents. Lauréate du prix PhMuseum pour les femmes photographes en 2023, son travail est présenté au Festival Fotografia Europea (2023, Italie), Rencontres photographiques de Guyane (2023), Encontros da Imagem (2023, Portugal), Plat(t)form Fotomuseum Winterthur (2022, Suisse) et dans une première exposition personnelle à la Maison Européenne de la Photographie, en février 2023.
