Alan Aubry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alan Aubry (born 24 September 1974) is a French photographer. He graduated from the Art College of Rouen, France in 1998.
His artistic process is to work by series, by accumulation of objects and places of the every day life. He attempts to reveal the essence of things and places, by tearing the routine’s viel. The usual, the repetitive, the monotonous, the ordinary, the useful, all which is subject to be seen, but is not looked for itself, are his territories.
A great part of his work on the mankind and his environment is obtained by wearing out the same area, by trolling along the same spaces continously in order to observe it and to feel it as well as possible. This area is also the one where he lives, as a matter of fact these observations are also influenced by his relations with these places and his personal history.
