Maritima Artist Residency Participants:

Nicolas Floc’h

Photographer and visual artist, born in 1970, in Rennes. Nicolas Floc’h ‘s installations, photographs, films, sculptures and performances question a period of transition in which flow, disappearance and regeneration play an essential role. Over the past ten years, a work focused on the representation of habitats and the underwater environment has led to a documentary photographic production related to the global changes and the definition of the concept of underwater seascape. From long-term projects, nourished by experiences, scientific researches and encounters, open artworks are born, rooted in reality, where evolutionary processes take the first place.

Nicolas Floc’h’s artworks have been regularly exhibited in France and abroad, in particular at the SMAK (Gent), Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), MAC/VAL (Vitry-sur-Seine), Palais de Tokyo (Paris), FRAC Bretagne (Rennes), FRAC PACA (Marseille), MALI (Lima, Peru), Matucana 100 (Santiago, Chile)… A monograph “Glaz” published during the eponymous exhibition at FRAC Bretagne, released in 2018 by “Roma Publications”, Amsterdam.
