Inventory of the photographic work, this first retrospective of the photographic work of Alain Bublex allows to revisit the whole of his production, deepening the original relationship he maintains with the photographic medium. Alain Bublex is not a photographer. In its multifaceted and tree-like production, all practices are possible and cumulative: photography alongside drawing, installation, making plans and diagrams, video, conference, etc.
However, photography has always had a special place in his work. Omnipresent, it is the starting point, the tool or the framework of each project. Each of them is, according to the artist, the alibi to produce images, themselves driven by the desire to browse the landscape, to go to the site to be faced with his subject. Alain Bublex is interested in the process of shooting and photography as a practice, as well as the images that result naturally.
alain bublex
The artist was born in 1961 in Lyon, France, and now lives and works between Lyon and Paris.
Since the 1990’s, Alain Bublex has been developing gigantic fictions, deeply anchored in reality.
Urbanist, utopist, researcher, and traveller, the artist produces artworks that are meant to be regarded as projects more than objects. They take tangible form through an iconography and a documentation that is as realistic as abundant.
By using a great variety of mediums, his projects hover between fact and fiction, to reinvent the scenery, the city or architecture in general.
Alain Bublex’s productions are also the result of a reflection on time, and history. They recreate the aesthetic canons and myths of the great adventure that is Modernity.
based on a city’s history, architecture, or aerodynamism, his evolving constructions deal with time constraints.
