Evolving away from mainstream trends and on the margins of documentary, metaphor inhabits Alain Willaume's work. An experimenter with forms, he draws up an intimate map made of enigmatic images that all raise alarms about the violence and vulnerability of the world and the humans who inhabit it.

"A photographer for whom fiction is not the reverse of reality but one of its modalities, Alain Willaume does not oppose commitment and mystery, but unites them in a form that has no need to be thunderous to be effective. His taciturn images open thought, and speech."

Author-photographer and member of the Tendance Floue collective, Alain Willaume is also an exhibition curator, artistic director and teacher.
