Bernard Faucon by Christian Caujolle

Preview

In 1995, after nearly 20 years as a photographer whose installations grew more and more refined, Bernard Faucon announced that he was abandoning photography, presenting a collection of small format phrases, ranging from philosophy to poetry, in white China ink, tattooed onto young people’s flesh: “The end of the Image”. He feels that with photography, he has expressed everything the medium could allow. It is not his style to work in the interest of the market, this artist of integrity, if he didn’t return to his first loves, drawing and painting, embarked on writing, working with sound and giving in to the journey with more freedom than before. It is meaningful to remember that when he stopped, this artist whose earliest exhibitions were held in Agathe Gaillard’s Parisian gallery and whose works have since become part of international art collections, was last exposed at the Yvon Lambert Gallery after having several exhibitions at Castelli and is a famous star in Japan (which is still the case).
