Editions La Martinière, Paris
Collection Photographie
This book, which celebrates the centenary of the Photomaton, follows a first volume published in 2011. It offers an entirely renewed selection of images and a more substantial historical overview. Above all, it presents a previously unpublished inventory of more than seventy artists who have regarded, or still regard, the photo booth, whether digital or analogue, as an endless field of experimentation and creation.
Mireille Loup’s photo booth works appear alongside those of the Surrealists, Pierre et Gilles, JR, Hervé Guibert, Mathieu Boogaerts and others.
The author Raynal Pellicer’s remarkable work showcases those who demonstrate, if proof were needed, that in the age of the selfie and Snapchat filters, photography without a photographer and the “non-conforming” self-portrait remain an intimate and unique experience. In 2011, he had already created the eponymous book and curated a resounding exhibition.

La sombre jalousie des Dames
Commissioned by the musée Réattu in Arles, as part of the "Silence, ça tourne!" initiated by Julie Mazé, cultural mediation officer, and Mireille Loup in 2020.
For this fourth edition, on a proposal from Julie Mazé, Mireille Loup was inspired by the films of Alfred Hitchcock and the film noir genre.
An video performance in five days, the pitch is given to a team of teenagers when they arrive at the museum, while they meet for the first time. Together, they discover, analyze, write the synopsis and the scenario, choose sets and costumes, film, sound record, light the shot and play within the museum, under the amused gaze of visitors, guards and the museum team.
Composed of scenes which gradually interweave into a story of murders, this film features typical characters of this very macho cinematic genre, in which women are often jealous, vengeful or victims and men are seducers, saviors or guilty.
In front of and behind the camera, Mireille Loup, assisted by Julie Mazé, leads this young team within the museum for making this film a production of subtle lighting that reveals the photogenic nature of this extraordinary place.
Duration: 5’5’’, loop movie
