About the photographer, Julien CHATELIN
Julien CHATELIN began his career as a photographer in 1992 after graduating from New York University's Table School of the Arts.
While working for international magazines, he developed long-term documentary and art projects such as 'Israel Borderline' (2004-2006), a visual fresco of Israeli society exhibited in Cannes and published as a photo book (2009). In his quest to explore new visual dialectics and narratives, he produced 'Egyptorama: A Journey through the semi-desert of Egypt' in large format. In his work, he explores areas in transition, whose topographies are charged with opposing energies. His work has been shown to date at the European House of Photography in Paris, the Centre de la Photographie in Geneva, Sommerset House in London, and numerous galleries and festivals.
