Elliott Verdier

Influenced at a very young age by the culture of photojournalism, Elliott Verdier quickly questioned his position as a witness and the subjectivity of his gaze. His work naturally steers away from the burning news and favors the slowness of the camera, exploring the shadowy areas of our world in search of what is invisible to us but universal: the memory of present and past lives, and the path it determines for us. His photography thus emanates a melancholic expectation, a suspended time, a silence that makes room for our existential questions. Through a delicate aesthetic, it is no longer a question of looking solely through the prism of our wounds, but of seeing above all the grace that emerges from our struggles, and that of the constant resilience that prevails over our fragilities.

Elliott Verdier was born in 1992 in Paris (France), he graduated from the Écoles de Condé in 2015.
