I am Aurélien and I am a photographer based in Brussels.
Following my time in the Russian Far North for my project Znamya, I wanted to understand and document ongoing events unfolding in Eastern Europe. This led me to Poland for my project Granica and more recently to Armenia, where I initiated a new project in 2024.
My work was exhibited at Contretype, Les Boutographies festival, Gallery VU' and the Prix Maison Blanche. I am currently showing work in Musée de la Photographie de Charleroi until September 2024.
I also took part at a mentoring program conducted by Agence VU' and the Fonds Regnier pour la création in 2023.
