Caroline Pottier was born in 1974. She joined the adventure that is Le Bar Floréal in 2003. Between her involvement in local life in Vendée in western France, where she lives, and her work on forgotten populations of Latin America, she takes her old Rolleicord camera with her wherever the world is struggling to hold itself together. Whether on her doorstep or on her travels, photography is a pretext for encounters, and a means of participating in what surrounds us and of continuing to believe in a better world. Her photographs can be found in the public collections of a number of artothèques (art lending libraries), as well as in private collections. Caroline Pottier’s images are regularly published in the press.
