Thomas Jorion

French photographer born in 1976. Lives and works in Paris. Self-taught, he travels the world capturing ruins and neglected places with a large-format 4x5 analog camera. Through his work, the artist expresses the passing of time beyond our control. He also questions materiality by focusing on buildings, stripped of their primary function and lustre, but whose apparent obsolescence provides a new aesthetic appeal, a certain renaissance. Thomas Jorion is represented by the Esther Woerdehoff and Insula galleries in Paris.
