Discover more on this artist

Caecilia Tripp is a contemporary photographer and visual artist whose work transcends cultural and geographical boundaries to explore themes of memory, identity, and resistance. Born in France in 1963, Tripp uses photography, video, and multimedia installations to create poetic and engaging works that question historical narratives and power dynamics.

Her artistic approach is deeply influenced by her personal experiences and commitment to social justice and cultural diversity. Tripp is particularly known for her collaborative projects and participatory works, which often involve local communities and marginalized individuals.

Among her notable works, the series “Around the World in 80 Days” explores themes of mobility and diaspora, while “Even the Moon is Dancing” highlights stories of resistance and resilience within Afro-descendant communities. Her works have been exhibited in renowned galleries and museums worldwide, and she continues to influence the contemporary art world with her unique vision and passionate engagement.

Caecilia Tripp’s photographic works speak of cosmic reminiscences in a collective ritual, where bodies
unfold in a polyphonic rhythm between light and darkness, unboxing spaces of freedom. The exposed photographs are stills from the film installation The Stars Look Lonesome, inspired by the writings and research of Senegalese historian and scientist Cheikh Anta Dio.
