Adelheim Biography

France, 1961-

Established French photograph Adelheim, represents blurred landscapes playing with the use of light and shadow. The artist’s works invites us to reconsider the moment of transition between focus and out of focus as an esthetic space with more depth than may be suspected. The work accomplished here guides us towards discovering or rediscovering that fragile moment where light seems to take possession of a scene.

Adelheim studied video and photography. Senior graphic artist on Discreet's "Flame" and "Inferno" for many ads, clips, titles. The artist has also worked with the most renowned French film Directors.

In the artist’s own words: "After nights spent in my bathroom printing pictures, I remember my first experiments, some photographic turns (colour process) that allowed an another reading of my photo works, a shift of the image. This was nothing compare to nowadays' possibilities.The photographic realism must be broken, damaged, used. My aim is to dismantle the image so as to remodel it to my will, to plastically possess it. My photography isn't an embodiement of reality but a pictorial gesture.”
