“I have always professed an absolute sense gratitude to fish, a deep empathy and the persistence of a child’s mind, which makes my work comfortably approachable, despite the fact that it does not always deal with cheerful issues

**The artist: Anne-Catherine Becker-Echivard**

Born in Paris in 1971, Anne-Catherine Becker-Echivard (ACBE) has devoted herself to photography since 1996. The originality of her work is mostly due to the use of real fish as staging elements that become the subjects of a role-play, a fable, a moral tale in which human caricatures portray an ironic view of our consumer society. In 2007, the Pinacothèque de Paris dedicated an exhibition to her. In 2009, ACBE opened her own photo studio in Berlin.
