Stéphane Dussère
Photographer Film director Graphic designer
Trained in visual arts at the Atelier Met de Penninghen and then at the Arts Décos (ENSAD École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs), Stéphane Dussère joined the Atelier de Montrouge (Grand Prix National d’Architecture 1981) as a graphic designer under the direction of Jean-Louis Véret. He then joined the communications department of a major Swedish automotive group. At the dawn of the 1990s, he embarked on a career as a freelance photographer and graphic designer.
Director of photography with the independent production collective Spy Films, founded by Mathieu Riboulet and Pierre Léon, he is also artistic director for the special supplements of the JDD and for a collection for Hachette Livres.
For him, the laboratory is a personal practice where he creates and displays images with the sole aim of expressing his raw feelings through physical and virtual exhibitions. He does this at venues such as the Chanot Contemporary Art Centre and the Grand Palais at the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs, as well as through historical and memorial work during a joint residency with the Historial de Péronne and the Lycée Agricole d'Abbeville. He also does this in a dematerialised way on various websites such as plateformag.com ; loeildelaphotographie.com and, more recently, he has been producing what are known as PŒM (Petites Œuvres Multimédia, or Small Multimedia Works), such as my two latest productions: ‘Avant, Pendant, Après’ (Before, During, After, a 6'48‘ photographic film) and ’36 vues‘ (36 Views, a 6'39’ photographic film).
