Séverine Chauveau's work questions the materiality of photography and its relationship to time and object. It has been published in several magazines (Photo Trouvé Magazine, Aeonian Magazine, and Assembla Magazine) and shown at the University of Reunion until December 2024. On this occasion, she led a conference with Marc Lenot on experimental photography. She was selected to lead 2 workshops on the idea of “photo-object” at the Experimental Photo Festival in Barcelona 2025. Her work was also shown there in 2023 in two group exhibitions: "Jouer contre les expositions", and "Ausstellungseröffnung" on the theme of materiality in photography at the Institute of Photographic Studies of Catalonia. A book published by Éditions Azalées and directed by Patrick Singaïny , a Reunionese essayist, was published in 2013 following the double exhibition of photographs Images hantées - Anté Images presented in St Denis de la Réunion. Séverine Chauveau studied for a bachelor's degree in visual arts at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne.
She was born in Angers, France and lives and works in Reunion Island.
