Thomas Paquet's work explores the fundamental characteristics of photography: light, space and time.

Born in 1979, French-Canadian Thomas Paquet questions the nature of time, the structure of its uninterrupted flow and the dynamics of its movement. Through his artistic practice, he seeks to offer viewers a sensitive experience of the world.

His approach to photography is direct and pragmatic. Experimentation often plays a central role in his research, with each project accompanied by a specific procedure, whether optical, physical or chemical. Although silver film is frequently at the heart of his creative process, he also uses alternative techniques such as instant film, wet collodion, cyanotypes and other 19th-century processes. The works produced reveal a resolutely contemporary dimension while exploring the possibilities and limits of the photographic document. They invite us to go beyond our representation of reality, blurring the boundaries between science and poetry, materiality and abstraction, objectivity and subjectivity. The artist is represented by Galerie Bigaignon, Paris.
