Biography
Philippe Braquenier (b.1985, Belgium) is fascinated by knowledge; intrigued by how it is collected, used, shared and stored. His work prompts a discourse about our obsession to deal with information in a time when data is becoming ever more omnipresent, yet all the more unseen. With a restrained and impassive perspective, Braquenier then connects these ideas to those on a much larger scale, of evolution, heritage and the precarious character of the digital revolution.

He received his Bachelor in photography from the HELB and worked in the advertising industry until 2016. Since his professional shift, he has exhibited at the Aperture Foundation in New York, the Belgian pavilion during the Venice Biennale in 2018 and the JIMEI X ARLES Photo Festival, among other institutions and galleries. His work has been published internationally and he was a finalist of the Louis Roederer Discovery Award in 2020.
