Artist from Franche-Comté, Thierry Géhin graduated with a cum laude distinction from the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Lyon (DNSEP). Working in photography and video, he is also takes part in practices of installation and sculpture from the 2000s. His artistic practice questions inhabited space and its representations. Places and memory work in duality in his works, mixing reality and imagination. His installations are mainly in situ, testifying to his acute ability to perceive the potential of a site. His exhibitions can be viewed both in France and abroad (MNBA of Santiago de Chile, Villa Kujoyama…). In 1997 he received the MAC fiction prize in Lyon.
Exhibiting in a church is not unknown to him. In 2006, he produced a series of five photographs highlighting the motif of a painted stone wall inside the church of Fouvent-Le-Haut and the motif of the roof of the bell tower of the church of Roche-Raucourt. All the photographs were presented in the nave of the latter by the contemporary art association AAC.
