C-print Diasec
With their plethora of details, colours, signs and symbols, Stéphane Couturier’s large-scale photographs challenge our ambiguous perception of the city and space. The impact of his portrayal of urban mutation stems from his segmented shots and juxtaposed forms.

Stéphane Couturier
France
Born in 1957
French photographer.
Born in 1957 in Neuilly sur Seine, France.
Without endorsing or deploring the urban environment we live in, these images are designed to challenge our perception. By questioning the presence of objects, their use and destiny, the artist invites us to take a fresh look at the order of things: the proliferation of signs, confrontation of plans, breaking down of the hierarchy of subjects and transforming the heterogeneity.
Stéphane Couturier conceives the urban fabric as work in progress – ever changing and inexorably problematic. In this way, he turns one of the basic functions of photography upside down – capturing the transitory and temporary in a stable and secure image.
