Pierre Joseph

--> Pierre Joseph Website <--

Born in 1965 in Caen. Lives and works in Paris.

From his Personnages à réactiver (Characters to reactivate) to his recent Endless Photographs (Photographiers sans fin), or even through his images of flowers #pierrejosephredouté, the work of Pierre Joseph demonstrates a strong interest in cycles. Whether it is the fictional characters who reappear in art spaces, the potatoes of Millet or Van Gogh revisited on the scale of digital capture, or the botanical work of its namesake Pierre-Joseph Redouté reactivated through photography, the images, like their subject, are entities that return, regenerate or are transmitted. This evocation of natural cycles (seasons, flowers, fruits) or cycles of history (see his installation If this world displeases you / Si ce monde vous déplait) and their hypothetical infinite reproduction come to take on their full meaning in a world in which we increasingly perceive the limited resources and entropic forces at work.
