Born in 1974, the French photographer Didier Illouz lives and works in Marseille. He has taken part to many collective and personal exhibitions in France, and along with other prizes, he was finalist in 2009 at the International Concourse of the magazine Photo. Libération has written about him in August 2008. Didier studied natural sciences, and then image & sound at the University Aix-Marseille. Here he presents two projects, Any-Males and Low-Fi, which merge together both his interests in the natural world and in the images of fancy. The results are different impressive hybrid portraits, which have human, but at the same time animal and monstrous features. Didier Illouz invite us to catch the anthropological and imaginative roots of our identities, going beyond the differences between poetry and science, and reflecting this possible unity in an extra-ordinary metamorphosis’ physiognomic.
