2004
Alexis Duc studied photography, then took his first photos.
Interest in the photogram process following the discovery of Rayograms by Man Ray.
Practice the technique on traditional photographic paper.
Creation of his first compositions then playing with the transposition of certain objects to give them new meanings.
2007
Carrying out its first tests with silver emulsion packaged in its solid form.
This solution allows it to coat its own supports (paper, canvas, etc.).
Sometimes addition of pigments in the preparation of materials and adoption previously colored bases.
2011
Arrangement of the coated support vertically. This device allows him to print the entire shadow of the projected subjects, unlike the work commonly carried out, where the method consists of laying the objects flat before exposing them, allowing their prints to show through. During this period, its activity expanded to prints on color photographic papers, also evolving towards new technical diversity in its approaches.
2013
Discovery of folding in a fortuitous manner and the effect rendered by light on a surface which has gained volume. Initially, he worked on modeling with light alone and evolved from a certain abstraction towards folding with more figurative compositions.
2015
Assimilation of objects on which the folding of the support causes distortion.
2019
His research led him to use combustion, particularly on canvases.
2020
Start of use with direct blackening processes, including cyanotype.
2021 - 2O22
Adaptation of the photogram concept on different film formats to be able to animate it. Release of his first short film made in Super 8, Background.
2023 - 2024
Starts working with the Polaroïd.
