BIOGRAPHYRomaric Tisserand (b.1974) Romaric Tisserand is a conceptual artist whose practice is focused on new perspectives on contemporary photography, from the object to the liquid image, challenging its reproducibility from new digital practices in a changing world. Working with archives, movie stills or found negatives, he is challenging fiction and documents using large film processes to produce long-term documentary projects such as (Data Center) or fictive NASA archives (Apollo 21) and (The Fallen Object). He is taking part with La Fabrique du Regard/LE BAL into educational programs and photographic publishing projects with colleges in the great Paris, from history to practice.
