Raphaël Dallaporta

France, 1980

The work of Raphaël Dallaporta questions our relationship with the world.

With the help of researchers in a variety of fields, Raphaël Dallaporta creates dispositives that invite contemplation through photography, drawing, video, sculpture, installation and books. Often referring to thinkers from Antiquity or the Renaissance, he establishes links between history, science and the arts, to consider the relationship between progress and our own evolution. Winner of the ICP Infinity Award in 2010, the Foam Paul Huf Award in 2011 and the Niépce Award in 2019, he was a resident at the French Academy in Rome – Villa Medici in 2014-2015. Raphaël Dallaporta is the author of a number of critically acclaimed books, most of which were produced with Xavier Barral and GwinZegal. His work can be found in various institutional collections, including those of the Centre national des arts plastiques, Paris, la Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris, le Musée de l’Elysée, Lausanne, le Musée national d’art moderne – Centre Pompidou, Paris, and the New York Public Library.
