BROSSARD Olivier

In a deeper road

France

2013

“Here is perpetuated the ordinary of an automobile alienation, a path in the twists and turns of a collective solitude, the fog of an underlying detention. It’s the time of the elsewhere in a hideous everyday life where the attention to the tiniest detail dismisses boredom on its own territory.”

About the artist

Olivier Brossard, born in 1974 in Lyon, France. He lives and works between Paris, Berlin and Turin. After a childhood spent on the family farm, he starts to practice the art of photography in 1990. He graduates in applied arts and industrial design and operates in 3D in automobile design, working for European manufacturers. In 2010, he is the laureate of the mission Jeunes Artistes in Toulouse, France. In his work, Olivier Brossard looks for the creation of an unusual language through a personal approach of traveling, a search for identity in the crossing of spaces where inner path and spatial immersion are mixed, in a tension and a mystery never solved.
