Born in 1964 in Avignon, France. Lives and works in Paris. France. Self-taught photographer. After his series Ghost Stations, which explored abandoned motorway service stations (acquired by the FRAC – Fonds Régional pour l’Art Contemporain in 2000), followed by Fiction Factories in 2012, architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte discovered Philippe Calandre’s work and offered him ‘carte blanche’ for his Venetian foundation. This encounter gave rise to the series of imaginary islands Isola Nova. He has shown his work in several solo and group exhibitions around the world.
