Biography
I live and work in Paris. Two arms, two legs, one
head, three eyes.
I emphasize a multidisciplinary approach : digital
art, photography, video, graphics, installations …
I make the most of my learning «on the job»,
with guidance, advice and criticism from various
professionals (during workshops, etc.)
Ever since childhood I’ve practised various means of
expression and it is by chance and as a self-taught
person that I started photography in 2007. After that,
I have been quickly interested in the production of
video clips and then digital art. Then, I developed
a multidisciplinary approach, in particular through
generative art installations (mixing audio and
visual creations). It is what brings my visions and
perceptions of the world to life.
I became interested in these artistic mediums
because of the need to explore various modes of
expression. I always need to explore various modes
of expression.
Artistic statement
My artistic approach is visually characterized by
breaks, discontinuities and a poietic of discrepancy,
crossover and mixture, whatever the subject.
A long way from the pretentious sophisticated
refrains and the technical and aesthetic codes, it’s
always a matter of sensations. Therefore, I don’t limit
myself by a photographic format or taboos. Grain,
fuzziness, textures, double exposure, distortion,
accidents. I make this process give everything that
is possible.
Everything then becomes a potential object and
subject of my creations, provided that they answer
that artistic approach.

Press and critics
Selected extracts from press articles.
«How much poetry there are in Dorianne works! Everybody is the same but different, everybody
is connected with the living Earth and with other possible worlds, beyond our atmosphere,
beyond our Moon and Sun. Dorianne Wotton photos are reflecting sadness and heroism,
what we are and what we can be, history and science fiction, because a true artist cannot be
enclosed in the strict definitions of a dictionary, an artist is a creator and her creation can be
written in 1001 new scientific books.» (Isabel del Rio, art critic)
«It is impossible not to think of the work of Diane Arbus, but approached in a very different
way. A strong work, sometimes disturbing and morbid, but still great art.» (B. Forland, galerist)
«Disturbing subjects, aesthetic aberrations, image duplications. Strength and duality are
beautifully expressed. A rich and interesting work with a great depth.» (S. Marin, journalist)
«Pictures of an ambivalence which reminds on Otto Rank‘s Double, because she appears
and hides at the same time, because she appears in photos she hides behind masks.» (Peter
Seelig, curator)
