1995
Live and work in Paris.
His work explores the performative dimension of photography – in its creation, dissemination, and perception. Combining scientific methods, experimentation, and humorous, often absurd gestures, Lignier investigates the mechanisms of image production and the impact of digital technologies on the way we see and understand the world. His artistic practice moves between performance, installation, and conceptual photography, marked by a reflective and experimental approach to the medium. Lignier understand photography as an expanded, performative act and rethink the relationship between technology, perception, and the body.
