Biography:
Gregoire was born in Switzerland, in 1978. In 2006 he moved to Berlin and spent his free time wandering through the many deserted spaces of the urban landscape, absorbing the distinctive layers of the city's history. That's when his passion for the forgotten and the derelict took shape. His work questions the patrimonial value of abandoned structures, not only from an architectural point of view, but also as witnesses of the history of the communities and powers that erected them. As orphaned relics stripped of their elementary purpose, they become objects of contemplation & introspection. |
