Patrick Tourneboeuf photographs people through their spaces, whether occupied or abandoned. His approach, resolutely plastic and systematic, traces human presence in places that are a priori deprived of it, meticulously depicting the banal and its light, almost impalpable traces, erased by time.

Alongside this work based on the precision and limited time of the view camera, he accumulated a vast series of images that were formally at odds with his usual approach. Called by him "the little nothings," these images, taken with his phone, subject to chance and technical mishap, form an intimate story, an exploration of the photographer's own unconscious, a kind of antechamber to his photographic work.
Patrick Tourneboeuf is co-founder of the Tendance Floue collective. His photographs are included in numerous private and public collections.
