Mathieu BERNARD-REYMOND
Introduction
French photographer Mathieu Bernard-Reymond was born in 1976 in Gap (France). He lives and works in Lausanne, Switzerland. He graduated from the Grenoble Institute of Political Studies.
Manipulating the image to form a strange poetry and renewing the visual codes of photography, Mathieu Bernard-Reymond has been exhibiting his artworks all over the world since 2001. He published two monographs: Vous êtes ici, ed. Actes Sud in 2003 and TV, ed. Hatje Cantz, in 2008. Thanks to softwares, he stages impossible events and, in his Intervalle series, repeats the character's presence to make it weirdly occupy the landscape.
2003 laureate of the Fondation CFF pour la Photographie [CFF Foundation for Photography], Mathieu Bernard-Reymond tackles the question of landscape, alternating between notions of reality and imagination. In 2009, he won the Arcimboldo Price with the Monuments series.
