Atlas des Régions Naturelles
Born in 1959 in Paris, lives and works in Paris.
Following studies in sociology where he discovered the work of August Sanders, Eric Tabuchi began his career in photography. In 1999, along with other artists, he cofounded the collective Glassbox and has since taken part in its many exhibitions. In 2007, the artist also published the first in what has become a series of books – Hyper Trophy, Twentysix abandoned gazoline stations, Alphabet truck – at Florence Loewy’s. Tabuchi has shown his work at a number of major venues, including the Palais de Tokyo, Confort Moderne, and Les Abattoirs. Since 2012, he has been working on the Atlas of Forms. In 2017, he began the Atlas des Régions Naturelles (Atlas of Natural Regions), a project he intends to continue adding to and expanding over the next few years.
The son of a Japanese father and Danish mother, Tabuchi articulates his work around ideas of territory, memory, and identity. Architectural typologies form the main subject of his art. In addition to his photography, Tabuchi produces objects and creates installations.
Born in 1988, lives and works in the Ain and Essonne.
Following a childhood spent in rural France and film studies in Bourg-en-Bresse, Nelly Monnier earned a DNSEP degree at ENSBA Lyon in 2012. Her work, in which painting, drawing, and narrative examine the connections between architecture, the decorative, and landscape, has since been shown at a number of venues, including Le Creux de l’enfer (Thiers); the Musée Fabre in Montpellier, after the artist had won the Félix Sabatier Prize; IAC (Lyon/Villeurbanne) in 2013 and in Singapore in 2015; the Salon de la Jeune Création in 2017; Galerie 22,48m2 (Paris); Le Metaxu (Toulon); and La Cantine (Belfort) most recently. Her practice continues to draw on numerous “local” trips, notably for the Atlas des Régions Naturelles (archive-arn.fr), a joint project with Eric Tabuchi.
