Cédrine Scheidig (b.1994, FR) is a photographer of French-Caribbean heritage living and working between Paris and the Caribbean. Her work is an exploration of Caribbean imaginaries that transcend geographic borders, offering a vision of identity as a continuous act of becoming. Driven by a poetic and critical lens that seeks to move beyond the boundaries of traditional documentary, she examines the intricate and sometimes contradictory ways in which youths reimagine both themselves and their communities in an era shaped by postcolonial and neoliberal realities.

Her work has been presented in several group exhibitions, including Fotografia Europea Festival (2023, Italy), Rencontres de Guyane (2023, Guyane), Encontros da Imagem (2023, Portugal), Plat(t)form Fotomuseum Winterthur (2022, Switzerland), Dior Prize w/ LUMA Foundation (2021, Arles), Rencontres internationales de la photographie (2021, Arles) and in a debut solo exhibition at Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris, in February 2023. She has been nominated among the British Journal Photography «Ones to Watch» (2022, UK), and shortlisted for the C/O Talent Award (2022, Germany) among others. She has been recipient of the Dior Photography and Visual Arts Award for Young Talents in 2021 and the PhMuseum Women Photographers Grant in 2023.
