Franck Alexandre was born in 1970 in Aubervilliers and grew up in the northern suburbs of Paris, in a concrete housing estate in La Courneuve.
This urban environment deeply shaped his photographic vision-sensitive to margins, cracks, and the raw texture of the city.
He discovered photography in New York, influenced by artists such as Daido Moriyama, Aaron Siskind, and William Klein.
His artistic approach is rooted in a poetic and experimental urban photography. He explores motion, speed, and abstraction within everyday surroundings.
Through reflections, directional blurs, and urban surfaces, he questions our perception of reality and the memory of spaces crossed.
Hidden in the crowd, his gaze reveals our reality as he sees it: damaged, dark, anonymous.
The viewer discovers, in the city's cracks, under the dirt of sidewalks, on scarred walls, in faces captured in passing, the abyss we step over daily without noticing.
With the series Radical, he develops a fragmented visual approach, where each image becomes a trace, a fleeting impression, a subconscious observation of the urban landscape.
His work oscillates between narration, silence, and disappearance.
