Pierre ALIVON is an artistic photographer whose favorite subject matter is urban lifestyles and peoples. He has travelled to the four corners of the globe in search of the photographs that best capture the zeitgeist and show people at their most authentic. Thanks to his discreet nature and discerning eye, Pierre Alivon blends effortlessly into diverse environments, and shines a light on details which both captivate and transport the observer. His singular approach has enabled him to create a photographic record of lifestyles throughout the world. He has explored some sixty countries to date, including Bhutan, Colombia, Syria, Jordan, Iran, Russia, Burma, Japan, China and South Africa. He recently completed a project entitled “Souvenirs du Présent” (Memories of the Present (www.1900paris.fr) ), which builds a bridge between Paris during the Belle Epoque and its current population. This is the fruit of an unlikely union between his own photographs and those of a fashion photographer taken in 1900. He has since extended this work with a series entitled “Lecture du Nu” (Interpreting the Nude), which couples the erotic photography of 1900 with present-day codes, focusing especially on tattoos.
