Biography

BIOGRAPHY

Born in 1983, first I oriented myself towards science, before devoting myself to image work. After studying engineering at the Ecole Polytechnique of Tours, I joined the ESAD d'Orléans where I obtained my DNSEP, in 2009.

Aiming at an anthropological approach rather than an objective representation of a "truth" of the landscape, my photographs propose a singular and sensitive journey in what Marc Augé named the "non places". As much influenced by the artists of the Kunstakademie of Düsseldorf as by the abstract expressionist painters (or Noland, Tapiès, Soulages, Malevitch...), my work attempts a representation of reality and its transfiguration into paintings: between poetic imagination and social concern, it wants to be alert of the deep mutations of our world and our civilization.

In 2016 I created the associative space EXUO for contemporary art in Tours.

Realization protocol

All the images of the corpus were recorded at an identical altitude of 1500 feet, i.e. at about 450 meters from the subject. After the delimitation of the geographical space studied, the fixing of this altitude is the first data of the shooting protocol. By working with a fixed optic, it allows a regularity and a great precision in the treatment of the scales between each photograph. The experiment also showed that at a lower altitude the details were identified too quickly, and that at a higher altitude the effects of matter and the relationship to human size were lost.

The third data of the protocol is the time of the shooting; it participates, as the altitude, in the rigor necessary to obtain a series of coherent images. Thus, all the photographs were taken around noon, when the sun is at its zenith and the light cannot be used in the usual aesthetic way. It is at this time of the day that the colorimetry obtained is the most neutral, the sunlight crushing all the reliefs, all the shadows, all the colors. In this way, the images have a very flat rendering, in the manner of Becher or Stéphane Couturier for example, who worked with overcast skies. This claimed flatness allows to accentuate the common feature of the photographed place and to emphasize its meaning rather than its representation. It is even reinforced by the choice of a direct printing technique on the raw material, which accentuates the essential relationship in the photographs to matter and texture.

Nothing in my photographs is altered, added or removed.
