Dominique Delpoux

biography

Dominique Delpoux was born in 1962 in the Tarn countryside.

We know, from the first glance, that Dominique Delpoux’s photographic work is based on decisions, strict positions and that he makes precise choices that clearly situate him in one of the territories of contemporary practice: the documentary style.

He questions the world in which we live, through questions of identity and representation.

With his photographs, he questions, he makes us look closer to our daily life, he destabilizes us in relation to the consensus and the comfort.

In other words, because he knows that rigorous devices are, in photography, productive, he operates with modesty an essential questioning of the world we live in.
