She expresses the uniqueness of architecture, lets light and shade take effect, seizes walls and openings, corners and curves, to express through the use of her camera a personal point of view.

The photographs reflect Binet’s interpretation of the building, resulting in her work separating itself from pure documentation to a work of art.

Binet’s photographs of the Therme Vals (CH) bear witness to a great poetic energy and demonstrate how nature, water and stone interact in this building.

With the works for the Kunstmuseum Kolumba of the Archbischop of Cologne (D) she focuses on the details of architecture and the interaction of light and shadow, which give this building a very special charm, and which Binet makes visible.
