Cédric Dubus

Photographer

I live and work in Lille in France. I'm a french photographer and curator for Cascade Collective. I am interested in all notions of territory. Whether physical, social or mental. We come from a territory. We always try to define its limits. The notion of territory usually brings words like border, boundary, perimeter. If one seeks a definition of the word "territory" we might find that : Portion of proposed land space in its reports with human groups that occupy and shall adjust to ensure the satisfaction of their needs. Where is the boundary between the immediate environment and the public environment ? That mean the home, the house, the native land ? What is life in France and Europe today? How do we take responsibility for the common history of a country, a region ? Through photography, through the prism of documentary fiction, I try to answer these questions. My work, especially the series Essence A and Doël | Analogy of a territory have since been published in the press such as : VICE France, VICE Belgium, PRIVATE magazine,This is paper, Booooooom, GUP, IMSO, Azart.fr, DARWIN, WAD, L'œil de la photographie, Clik Clk, Fisheye magazine, Der Greif, Fotografia. Since 2012, I am part of the collective of photographers Cascade Collective, co-founded with several friends.
