Over the years, Lausanne-based photographer Mathieu Bernard-Reymond (France, 1976) has developed a practice with contours broadened by generative technologies and data manipulation.
In this video, Mathieu Bernard-Reymond talks about the D'après Ramuz project. In an approach based on photographic exploration, he has chosen to combine extracts from the writings of C. F.

The exhibition Mathieu Bernard-Reymond × La Muette. D'après Ramuz is on view at the Signal L on Plateforme 10 from November 2, 2023 to February 25, 2024.
