Philippe Bazin lives in Paris and exhibits widely in solo and group exhibitions internationally.

Bazin's photographic practice has encompassed a range of subject matter. In the mid 1990s, he focused on the human face interpreted through large format black and white images of the elderly, newborns, adolescents and prisoners. His recent work is informed by the natural and urban landscapes which have been realised through projects in Portugal, Scotland, Albania, Northern Cyprus and Taiwan. Bazin's specific focus has been to explore the interconnection between the processes of work and their spectacle, creating a sense of the monumental from everyday activities.

Philippe Bazin worked with DAD on the Embarkation project and obtained access to the Port of Dover. You can see some of the photographs he made during his residency here.  Click here for an image of his work installed in the freestanding signboards in Dover. The published version of the work is on the Dover Port page of his website.
