ABOUT

Julien Vallon is a French visual artist whose practice examines the essence of our identity through our bodies. He has made a name for himself with works that celebrate movement and form. Julien's work is regularly exhibited and is part of prestigious museum collections.

Attracted by the narrative and emotional scope of cinema, he has directed several award-winning short films and is currently working on his first feature.

Julien listens to people's bodies, capturing a precise movement, an attitude, and proposes a reflection on our contemporary lives and their histories. Every gesture becomes a word, every movement a sentence. The idea that the body can translate thoughts and feelings, that it expresses itself as a language made up of attitudes and rhythms, defines Julien's visual quest.
He is a fervent advocate of women's empowerment and representation in the industry. His work often challenges societal norms, celebrating diversity and breaking conventional boundaries.

territories

personal series

When I saw you,

I didn't want to capture the surface of things, but what was behind it.

With you,

I didn't want to capture space, but time.

Because space is a shape, time is a story.

I devoured your body,

I tracked down the beginning of your life.

There was always only one thing to shoot:

your body and its cry.

Then your nudity lost its sexual significance in favor of a new visibility,

beyond the masculine and feminine.
