Career

In 2015, she published a first work in self-publication.

In 2019, Margueritte Bornhauser presented her first solo exhibition Moisson Rouge, in a French institution, at the Maison européenne de la photographie. [6] [ non-primary source needed ] The project mixed abstract compositions and close-ups. The uncaptioned images carry elusive meanings. [7] [ non-primary source needed ] The photographer said: "I often use images as words to tell stories, create fictions and particular atmospheres ". [8] She also confronted, in the form of diptychs, images taken at different periods. [7] [ non-primary source needed ]

As a continuation of this exhibition, she published the book Moisson Rouge (Red Harvest), published by Poursuite, in which she immortalized nature as an enigmatic, dreamlike and colorful universe. [9] [ non-primary source needed ] The title of the book refers to the work Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammett, an American screenwriter and novelist, considered to be the founder of the roman noir. [8]

Her artistic work has been presented in meetings and exhibitions around the world, such as in the streets of Cincinnati in the United States, at the Rencontres de la Photographie in Arles, at the Festival Planches Contact in Deauville or in the BETC and Agnès B galleries in Paris.
