Born in 1952 in Sainte-Adresse in France. Lives and works in Paris. Graduated from the école Louis Lumière in Saint-Denis, France. Among his inspirations are David Hockney’s composite Polaroids from the 1990s.
In 2002 Jean-François Rauzier invented the concept of the Hyperphoto. This new creative method consists of assembling thousands of real images taken with a telephoto lens into a mosaic, cropping the subjects (buildings, artistic expressions, humans, animals, plants, among others) to form a digital directory of Mankind’s global heritage.
He has exhibited his work all over the world: MOMA in Moscow; Annenberg Foundation; Palais des Beaux-Arts in Lille; Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris. His photographs are part of major contemporary art collections such as the Fondation Louis Vuitton and the Institut Culturel B. Magrez.
