Cédric Roulliat
Photographe autodidacte, Influencé par les formes de narration populaires (cinéma, roman-photo, comics), il mêle ses propres obsessions aux mythologies hollywoodiennes dans des tableaux distanciés où des figures hiératiques miment désir, effroi et mélancolie.
Always compelled by popular forms of story-telling – comics, motion pictures, adverts, his grandmother’s beloved photo romance stories – Cédric Roulliat taught himself photography as a medium to convey his staged tales of lonely, distressed women and karmically-challenged gigolos. These artificially-conceived scenes of desire and death pulsions are equally indebted to Hollywood’s golden age, the Grimm Brothers and Guy Bourdin.
