Bertrand Lamarche’s work blends landscape, urbanism and architecture. Modeled and remodeled over time, it is characterized by the critical and sensitive attention paid to the evolution of the places and sites where his fictions unfold. By weaving the thread of his shadowy fiction into existing the urban grid, he proposes a scenario for decoding the city (fog factory).

The book includes critical essays by François Piron(Drag City ), Marie-Ange Brayer (This ineluctable modality of the visible , and Philippe Duboy (The shape of a city) and Elizabeth Lebovici’s interview with the artist. Produced with support from the Centre national des arts plastiques, the CRAC Languedoc-Roussillon, Sète, the FRAC Centre, La Galerie and agnès b., the funnel is the first monograph published on Bertrand Lamarche’s work.
