Raphaël Dallaporta
Raphaël Dallaporta (b. 1980) is a French artist and photographer known for his rigorous, research-driven approach to contemporary visual art. Drawing on archaeology, history, and science, he collaborates closely with researchers to develop visual protocols that transform hidden or forgotten objects and territories into still lifes and landscapes. He studied at the Gobelins School of Image in Paris and later at Fabrica in Italy and was a resident at the Villa Medici (French Academy in Rome). Dallaporta’s work has been widely exhibited internationally and is held in major public collections, including the Centre Pompidou, the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (Paris), Photo Elysée (Lausanne), the New York Public Library, and the Getty Center (Los Angeles). His projects range from large-scale immersive films to time-based installations rooted in photographic investigation, and his monographic publications have received significant critical acclaim. Working across media, Dallaporta consistently challenges viewers to reconsider the relationship between technological progress and human evolution.
