Marie Brokensha

DOB: 13 May 1960

Nationality: French / Australian

“Oui! je suis une femme Parisienne!

My childhood is of memories wandering the Trocadero, roller skating around the Eiffel Tower and the Bastille.

As a student, mingling with protestors and running from the teargas as the Gendarmes moved in. These strong images drove me to become a provocateur.

A prolific creative artist, Marie’s photography is thematically diverse. From black and white male and female nudes to intimate portraits, her images are clear, sensitive, and uncompromising.

Marie Brokensha has been honoured by the prestigious “Mois de la Photo” – photographic event in Paris and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.

Settled in Sydney 12 years ago, the moving image became her new direction to explore women’s identity.

Short film movies:

2013 – “A Fleur de peau”    running  time 3mn

A woman within the space of memory and fantasy. Passion and lost love.

2014 – “ Anais-Anais”          running  time 11mn

Is duality an essential element of sexuality? One woman, emotional, fragile, in need of fulfillment. … yet rejected. Another woman, audacious, comfortable in her own skin, in control of her world, her lovers.

2015 – “Pandora’s door” running  time: 4mn

She knocks several times, and when the concierge leaves the walls become her eyes.
