Favret-Manez Patrick
Nice, France
We are two photographers, co-authors working together for the last ten years.
We are essentially concerned with the contemporary landscape, trying to assemble visible clues of the heterogeneous space surrounding us in distinct photographic series. Each series allows us to explore a different register of representation and to thus unrelentlessly question our way of seeing things. It is the gaze external to the "private self" that interest us, the direct confrontation with an uncompressable real, a gaze exempt from all hierarchy.
