Paris
What Happiness is
Alexandra Kremer-Khomassouridze, a Franco-Georgian and Azerbaijani
photographer, transcends geographical and artistic boundaries through her lens.
Born in Baku into a family steeped in music, she moved to Paris in 1989 after
graduating from the Fine Arts School of Azerbaijan. Her journey into photography
began during her studies at EFET Photographie and IRIS, consolidated by a
master’s degree under the direction of Yan Morvan. This transition marked the
start of a remarkable career, beginning as a photojournalist with the Gamma
agency.Alexandra Kremer-Khomassouridze has distinguished herself through
her international conceptual projects, exploring themes such as music, identity,
beauty and faith. Over the years, Alexandra Kremer-Khomassouridze has
forged close links with the world of music. Her work, which has appeared in
renowned publications such as Paris-Match and Le Monde, will give rise in 2015
to an exhibition at Asia House in London. Later in 2020, she founded the Photo
House, a photographic studio and workshop located in the heart of Paris’s 6th
arrondissement.
Today she is continuing her work on “What Happiness is”, the third chapter of
her career. Kremer-Khomassouridze presents us with delicate works printed on
handmade Japanese paper, each photograph then carefully enhanced by hand
using a traditional Japanese pink watercolour. Alexandra’s photographs are produced in editions of three, but it’s the hand-crafting and personal touch she brings to each one that makes them so unique.
