Born in 1950, Bernard Faucon created his photographic
oeuvre between 1976 and 1995. It is one of the most original and
important bodies of work of the late 20th century.
Often exhibited,
reproduced, borrowed, and collected, Faucon's work, paradoxically,
remains little known, and its place
in contemporary
creation is still ill defined.
This is due as much to its singularity,
it is a poetic, metaphysical, highly personal body of work, as
to the diverse group inspired
by it, from the most classic and orthodox in the photographic world
to avant-garde artists, as well as novelist, directors, psychoanalysts,
Japanese fashion designers.
Over the past 25 years, Bernard Faucon has
shown in nearly 250 solo exhibitions and as many group shows,
from Leo Castelli in
New York City to Yvon Lambert in Paris, in large museums as well
as small institutions.
