Antoine Gaussin

My work seeks to evoke rather than represent. My “hyperphotographic” universe is intended to be a journey beyond reality

After studying journalism and photography in Brussels, Antoine Gaussin worked on various photographic assignments in Africa and Asia, while pursuing a career as a studio photographer. Gradually, he focused more exclusively on photography and began to forge his own visual and graphic identity. His work is essentially influenced by his past travels and the poetic dimension of the deserts he has come into contact with. Through his photographs he tries to evoke rather than represent the subjects he faces. His work is somewhere between photography and charcoal. Freeing himself from the factual and hyper-detailed dimension of modern photography, he produces works in which the viewer's imagination can fully unfold. An invitation to travel, sustained by the timeless poetry of black and white.
