Malala Andrialavidrazana is an artist who was born in Madagascar in 1971, and who lives and works in Paris, where she first studied architecture before turning towards photography. Since 2015, she has been constructing her Figures, digital photomontages created using iconographic archives that date for the most part from the 19^th and 20^th centuries, and which foreground the imaginaries of modernity: the expansion of capitalism, the birth of globalization by way of colonialism, the accelerated circulation of goods and images and the extraction of natural resources.
