Alexandre Dupeyron tracks down accidents. He explores the metamorphoses of the still image, whether he is shooting, working in his laboratory or giving visual and sound performances. His work attempts to translate the poetic dimension of what surrounds us. He manipulates the photographic tool, meticulously approaching the unknown, provoking chance and allowing new ways of perceiving reality to emerge. Guided by light and movement, he ventures to the frontiers of the visible. In his approach, he tests the possibilities of the medium, returning to old techniques such as gum bichromate as he plays with the photographic material. For Alexandre Dupeyron, process takes precedence over form, and movement takes precedence over image, in order to capture the rhythm of a moving world..

For this nex edition of A ppr oc he, Alexandre Dupeyron is presenting his latest works, inspired by the Impressionists’ obsession with light and all its sensitive variations. The Dysnomia series, a free reinterpretation in colour of a black-and-white body of work, the fruit of ten years of photography, is a dialogue with the visual research he is currently carrying out on mega-fires in Australia, France and more recently the USA. After studying photojournalism at the École des métiers de l’information in Paris, Alexandre Dupeyron spent many years abroad, in Morocco, Singapore and India, where his first exhibitions were held.

His work has also been exhibited in France, notably at the Centre Mondial de la Paix in Lorraine in 2007, and more recently at the Fondation Manuel-Rivera-Ortiz in Arles in 2022, at the Villa Pérochon in 2022, and at the Frac Nouvelle-Aquitaine Méca in 2024. At the same time, he is exploring the dialogue between photography and music in live performances accompanied by composer Thomas Julienne and his quintet Theorem of Joy. Together, they have devised a show, Dysnomia Live, based on Alexandre Dupeyron’s book of the same name, published by Sun/Sun in 2022. After a tour of South-East Asia, this visual and musical performance is currently touring China.
