Jacinthe Robillard explores the documentary portrait by studying domestic environments of specific social groups. She is particularly interested the experience of the other and the intrinsic link that it maintains with location. Her work engages the themes of identity, the occupation of space, individuality within a community, intimacy and authenticity. Using photography and the Internet, emphasizing a realist aesthetic without artifice, she allows her subjects to speak for themselves.
