Grégoire Eloy

Grégoire Eloy was born in 1971 in Cannes and lives in Paris. He became a photographer in 2003 after starting his career in economics and finance. He has been a member of the Tendance Floue collective since 2016. Eloy initially worked on the legacy of the former USSR and the difficult reconstruction afterward. Then, from 2010 to 2021, he produced a trilogy on the science of matter: dark matter, a study of a seismological fault in Italy, followed by one of the last glaciers in the Pyrenees. He collaborates with scientists (glaciologists, researchers, seismologists, astrophysicists, etc.) to deliver a personal experience of matter and the invisible. Since 2015, he has been interested in our relationship with the environment and the wild through immersive projects where physical experience takes precedence (Guernsey coastline, Georgian mountains, Perche forest, Finistère foreshore, Ossoue glacier, etc.).

Eloy has exhibited in France and abroad, notably at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BNF) in the exhibition "Epreuves de la matière". He has published several monographs and is the winner of the 2004 Talent Scholarship, the 2021 Niépce Prize and recipient of the Grand National Order "X-ray of France: views on a country affected by the health crisis".
