In a dense, opaque city, a man walks at a distance, cut off from the world. He collects fragments, post-its – which he keeps without really knowing why. Little by little, he rigorously applies what these bits of paper dictate – reproduce errands, call certain numbers, go to Romania, etc. This absurd system becomes a method, a way of life. This absurd system becomes a method, an attempt to fit into the world.

Découvrir le profil

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.
