Alain Willaume has been a member of the Tendance Floue collective since 2010. Coordonnées 72/18, a monograph, was published by Éditions Xavier Barral in 2019 and shortlisted for the Prix Nadar that same year. In 2022 Arnaud Bizalion éditeur published Un Réalisme Hanté, a book of interviews of Alain Willaume by Fabien Ribéry.
A photographer for whom fiction is not the underside of reality but one of its modalities, Alain Willaume does not oppose engagement and mystery but instead unites them in a form which has no need to shout to make itself heard. His taciturn images trigger thoughts and words. A dedicated experimenter of forms who situates his practice outside the mainstream, Alain Willaume develops a body of enigmatic images, each of which conveys the tension and vulnerability of individuals and the world.
