Marianne Boutrit

Born in France, Marianne Boutrit completed her studies at Ecole Nationale Louis Lumière in Paris before moving to Italy. She began her professional career in Florence working in various photographic studios before moving definately to Milan in the early ʻ90s. There,
she opened her own studio specializing in still-life photography for advertising and industrial clients.

Contemporarily, she developed her own personal photographic narration. The dominant theme which emerged from her personal research culminated in a continuing series of images intitled “Ferite” (Wounds) which led to her presence in various group and personal
exhibitions.
In 2007 she began her collaboration with the artist Nicola Console and Alice Mangano creating stop-motion imagery for animated films used on stage as part of the set design for “The Hunt” based on Le Baccanti by Euripide, both interpreted by the eclectic film and stage actor Luigi Lo Cascio. She is now working with Console on an animated film on various political figuers of the 20th Century. Between 2005 and 2009 she documented the complete works of the milanese artist Gianni Colombo, later published by Skira Editions for the exhibit held at Castello di Rivoli throughout 2010.
Since 1995 Boutrit has been teaching darkroom techniques at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan.
