behind-the-wall-09.jpg Photography by Alanig Keltz

Videographer/Editor by training, with a degree in Cinematographic and AudioVisual Studies, and a graduate of the Conservatoire Libre du Cinéma Français, Alanig Keltz has been practicing his profession (his passion) for more than 15 years in music videos and short films. His influence comes from the street, Punk culture and the underground with which he is familiar.
It was in 2010, using an iPhone, that he devoted himself to photography by creating a personal photographic diary, 'Day by day'. A daily composite painting of his world, his thoughts and his daydreams. .
Not so far from Land Art, his photographs are first born from a human experience made of chance and wanderings. His photographs are not "premeditated", but are the result of long walks, wanderings through cities (Paris and its suburbs, Dunkirk, Lille, Toulouse...).

Alanig Keltz summons, in his photos, a collective imagination about the end of the world, both literary, with his photos of old dilapidated typewriters, and cinematographic with his images of abandoned projection rooms and reels.
Fascinated by architecture and urban mythologies, marked by squats and alternative housing, Alanig Keltz surveys and lists the vestiges of the modern world and offers us the futuristic vision of an empty, desolate world: memories and resistance of a future which has not yet taken place.
The subjects of his photos are also accentuated by the photographic rendering that the artist gives to his photos. The material, the texture of a decrepit wall, of a rusty metal plate shines through the photograph, through the grain of the shot. The choice of framing, angles and lighting accentuates, or further dramatizes, this feeling of decay and abandonment.
