Pierre Belhassen

Pierre Belhassen is a photographer-author.

The street but more broadly the outside world is an open playground where he finds a means of expression.

His photography does not document reality but simply seeks to gaze at others relying on his own instinct in an immediate proximity with the world surrounding him.
Beyond the faces and the moods the tokens of a culture –whether they are real or not- are seized with a relentless desire of accuracy and simplicity.

In his pictures, eyes stare at us and the mind tips over into a disturbing mirroring game between the subject, the photographer and our own vision.

Pierre Belhassen was born in Paris in 1978. He lives now in Marseille, France.
