Discover more on this artist
David Brognon was born in 1978 and Stéphanie Rollin in 1980. They live between Luxembourg and Brussels. Their artistic works are rooted in questions within contemporary art. They work conceptually and their works are part of political, social and relational approaches. Photography is one of their means of artistic expression alongside video, installations, text and actions. Their works are in private and public collections, such as Mudam (Luxembourg), Centre Pompidou (France), MACʼs-Grand Hornu (Belgium) and in many FRACs in France.
The appropriation of the monument in the series “Famous People have no Stories” takes on an objectivist dimension for David Brognon and Stéphanie Rollin (both living in Luxembourg) who photograph the hands of monuments of philosophers, writers and other famous men by decontextualising them and constituting a personal archive, a collection of details that they make visible and that testify to an existing reality which is generally not perceptible.
