I work with analogical photography in a sensitive and emotional way, whose process responds to a language extended over time.
Not as an exact and precise science, as a way of appropriating space, observing interactions between body and architecture.
Mainly in search of space and movement, the memory of urban places traces a line through my projects.

The three works by photographer Hélène Rigny are part of the Ciel de Berlin series, the result of a collaboration between the artist and Floris Dahlgrün.
The series is rooted in the artist's dancer's exploration of movement and space on various rooftops in the city of Berlin.
The space overlooking the once-divided city, far from the chaos of the ground, emerges as a place of celestial freedom above East and West Berlin.
Course vers le ciel de l'Est was captured on a monument at Alexanderplatz, in the heart of former
East Berlin. Pause au Ciel de l'Est / Still and Unbänding mark the boundary between the formerly divided urban zone.
In her Analog photographs, Hélène Rigny explores the interplay between body and architecture or topography of Berlin, particularly East Berlin, and creates poetic moments in a narrative of city and space in which the utopia of the undivided sky is to be found.
