The Core

Scattered within a worn scientific text, the photographs make a poetic parallel between the duality of human souls and nuclear fission. At the heart of a being or the deep center of an atom, energies coalesce, diffuse, or ignite. ‘The Core’ shows visions of characters trapped in an alienating and dystopian environment, and the perception that human activity has overpassed a forbidden or dangerous border.

Stéphane Charpentier

Stéphane Charpentier engages an introspective photographic language to build enigmatic long-term analog series. His high contrast black and white images catch moments from an endless vision suspended between humanity’s struggles and hopes. He has made exhibitions all over Europe and also shows his work through photographic film projections.

He creates short experimental films, installations and music videos. He often collaborates with sound artists or musicians, and took part to the creation of the band Oiseaux-Tempête (Sub Rosa). He is curating the Temps Zero projects since 2013 (international collective gathering photographers & film-makers presenting performances, exhibitions, workshops)
