Mustapha Azeroual

A scientist by training, his work is based on observation and experimentation experimentation, confronting the historical techniques of shooting and printing to the contemporary with the contemporary issues of photography. Questioning the tools the process of appearance and the supports, the artist privileges above all the point of view of the spectator. His work consists of an analysis of the photographic and is articulated around four main fields of study: the study of the light, the question of the motive, the study of the recording and the restitution of the color and the question of the support. These research themes have given rise to sections of works in which the series become spaces of experimentation. Permanent resident of the Capsule, Centre de création photographique du Bourget, he joined Fresh Winds at the end of 2015, as part of the Gardur Biennial of Contemporary Art of contemporary art in Gardur, Iceland. He is developing the ELLIOS project, a study of light, in partnership with the LESIA (sun observation pole of the Observatoire de Paris-Meudon). Mustapha Azeroual's works have been included in collections including the Centre National des Arts Plastiques (France), the French Museum of Photography (France), the AM Art collection (France).
