Jules Bourbon
Born in 1994 in Paris (France)
Born in Paris in 1994, Jules Bourbon works at the crossroads of cinema and contemporary art, melding video, photography and writing. A graduate of Villa Arson and then the beaux-arts de Paris, he joined Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains in 2024. Writing plays a central role in his approach. Taking inspiration from everyday life and the mundane, he focuses on filming and narrating what is repeated, what accumulates, and what, at first glance, seems insignificant. His work has been presented at various venues and events, notably the Fondation Pernod Ricard, Cinéma du réel at the Centre Pompidou, and the Salon de Montrouge. In 2022, he received the Thaddaeus Ropac Prize. The following year, he was selected for the Révélations Emerige (10th edition), with Galerie Nathalie Obadia as a partner for that edition, and received a Special Mention from the Villa Noailles jury.
