Alain Soldeville, Alexe Liebert

France

Alain Soldeville embarked in the early 1980s on a two-year trip to Asia and Australia. He made his first photographs, and began a series on Bugis Street, the now-demolished, world-famous Singapore home of the transgender community. Returning to Paris, he became a photographer whose work has appeared in French and international publications.

After studying Cinema Theory at the Sorbonne University, Alexe Liebert developed a practice that combines the esthetics and techniques of fiction with documentary writing. Combining film, photography, sound design and installation, his work questions reality and its levels of representation.
