Biography
Yann Stofer
Reporter of our daily lives and their raw truths
Born in 1977
Lives & Works in Bordeaux, FR / Amsterdam, NL
Yann has always practiced silver gelatin photography. He captures images of life and transmits to us their raw truth. This artist can define himself as a reporter of our everyday life.
Scenes of altercations, violence or just outings, the photographs of the artist immortalize and testify to a contemporary reality ….
The lively world
He arrives unexpectedly with his dog, his Volvo break and his camera: Yann always seems to land on a planet that is not his.
Unusual, sometimes in a painful position, which allows him to approach the world singularely. The shift and the sense of absurdity populates his images: latex gloves lost over a plate of chips, swordfish folded on a scooter with unknown registration, impossible patterns of a shirt responding to a forest of pines.
It is a fly every time, pinning the distracting detail – the dissonant element – with an eye forever new.
