Frédérique Lagny's photographic work addresses the human figure in a resolute way, questioning the fundamental elements in regard to photography of the body. Since 2006 Frédérique has been developing her projects in Burkina Faso, West Africa, where she embarked upon a project that continues to the present day. Characterized by certain aspects of anthropological critique defined as a tool (as per the meaning imbued by Mongo Beti), the work attempts to develop, in its practice as in its diffusion, a political commentary.

Frédérique expands this reflection with a video triptych Vanishing Point (19', 2009) and À qui appartiennent les pigeons ? (39', 2012) - a poetic essay in film - and focuses on criteria which govern the construction of a cultural identity already influenced by colonialism and the difficulties of post-colonial development.
