Violette Charvet
Violette Charvet is a French artist living between Paris and Glasgow.
Through photography, video and books, her work explores memory, communication and fragmentations.Interweaving fragmented images, diptychs as well as found and constructed objects, she seeks to tell stories where connections are fragile and where the moving line between what can be said and what can only be felt reveals its beauty.

Memory Made
- Memory Made is a photographic, 3D and immersive work based on the relationship between memory and objects though the scope of my childhood.
When a simple object can take us years back to a time, a moment or a person, can we trust the accuracy of our souvenirs or do they reflect who we were then and are now?To explore this, my work shows 9 images of childhood objects I kept, photographed through the lens of the feeling I had as a child towards each of them. They are complemented by my own recreation of objects which have since disappeared.
These pieces are all gathered in what I conceived as my very personal past and present memory room.
