Anne Kalinic

Anne Kalinic, born in Paris in 1975, is a French photographer currently based in Nantes. After studying a PhD in Language Sciences and Communication, she transitioned to photography, starting analog photography in 2015. Her work focuses on peri-urban landscapes, exploring human alteration of the environment, especially through rivers like the Yvette and the Danube. Influenced by exhibitions like New Topographics and French Landscape, she works with the anthotype technique, using plant juices to create photographs, aiming to replace toxic chemicals in the darkroom. Her recent work draws from anthropologist Philippe Descola’s ideas, challenging the dichotomy between nature and culture and questioning how humans perceive and relate to the natural world. Anne continues to seek sustainable photographic processes.
