Julien Menand

Pacing in Europe for ten years, Julien Menand has found home in photography and welcomes the viewer into this ambiguous world. Pleased to look at what escapes his gaze, to enter an image that is observed, he is constantly led to question what he sees and to seek what he could find beyond. These trompes-l'oeil involve the space of and in photography and question the essence of exhibiting: What is given to see when an artwork is shown? Looking for a Neo-Pictorialist aesthetic of photography, Julien offers purely photographic "views", captured on large and medium film format.
