Didier Massard is a magician of invention within the genre of fabricated photographs. Massard works slowly, completing only two or three images a year. Following his first series, he created “Artificial Paradise” between 1999 and 2003, and since then, he has been involved in the evolution of “Territories” which includes images of animals and mysterious landscapes. His second monograph entitled “Artifices” was published in 2007.

Julie Saul Gallery is one of 75 galleries showcasing photography during the AIPAD Photography Show in New York City from April 4 – April 7.
