Photo Residency 3rd Edition

Event Description

After the success of the first two photo residencies with Lo Kee and Martin Bertrand, Alliance Française Toronto welcomes the young French photographer Sylvain Faucon, originally from the south of France and based in Paris.

Drawn to the creation of still or animated images as a child, he decided, as a teenager, to devote himself to photography, a passion that has nurtured a constantly evolving practice. Initially focusing on creating portraits of the daily lives of his inner circle, his production has, over the years, freed itself from the human silhouette to embrace a more contemplative approach that focuses on landscapes, especially urban ones.

At the end of 2022, Sylvain presented his first Parisian exhibition and concluded a series that began during the first lockdown in France, which was led by his curiosity for medium and large formats of colour negative film. Influenced by this medium, his practice has since transformed into a continuous quest in search of visible evidence (that is contemporary and historical) of a human’s journey within urban or rural environments underlining the force of change, often to their sole benefit, that they relay unto their environment.
