Pierre-Olivier Arnaud
Born in 1972 at Lyon, France
Pierre-Olivier Arnaud does not consider himself a photographer, but an artist using photography as a medium in his work. His approach is based on collecting images from the street and the press, which he then reworks, cuts out, arranges, rephotographs, enlarges, desaturates, etc. These many treatments give rise to new sets of images that resonate with one another. His reflections generally focus on the very nature of the image as well as on its means of production, distribution, and consumption.
Born in 1972 in Lyon, where he lives and works, Pierre-Olivier Arnaud graduated from the École régionale des beaux-arts de Saint-Étienne in 1996.
