The artist works in the fields of photography and drawing. He is renowned for his Nuit Américaine photographic series, a technique derived from cinema and adapted to photography, enabling him to establish a new narrative for his decontextualized characters. He generally operates by elaborating a new scenario for an image in transit, and over the past five years, he has taken a step aside in his photographic career, gradually becoming a true visual artist.
The Centre d’art contemporain / Passages is hosting a residency for Nicolas Dhervillers in November 2021, in preparation for his exhibition and to meet the public.
