Punk off-camera

Étienne Renzo loves taking portraits of punks. He started long before the festive gatherings such as the "grosse entube", which he hosted on his airfield. Touched by the commitment, critical derision, creativity and humanity of the neo-keupons, he set out to meet them in their unlikely living quarters. With the idea of carrying out "photographic interviews", which was to become a veritable artistic project.

The magic tree

Sensitive to the call of the forests, Etienne Renzo plans to devote part of his photographic activity to them, creating images and situations in which to invent a new history of our relationship with trees. This necessarily involves connecting to the different levels of reality in our relationship with trees. One of these is the magic of trees, with their very special energy, which comes through in Etienne Renzo's photography.

Weddings

This "marriage" series is doubly original and singular in Etienne Renzo's career, with photographs that are both abstract and semi-accidental. The antithesis of posed, laboratory-worked images. Here, the photography results from a process linked to the decay of silver Ektachrome slides of wedding ceremonies taken in the 70s and 80s. Strange images, at once resurrected and produced by the chance of an astonishing alchemy of shapes and colors.
