Jean Noviel
Born 1973, Paris, France. Lives and works in Montreuil, France.
Noviel’s work examines disappearance, trace, exile, and in particular, landscape and territory as vectors of collective memory. His work has treated memories of men in landscapes of war (the Terres des hommes series); memories of women from a forgotten asylum near the Seine (the Maison-Blanche series), and the memories of the lovers from Nevers in Duras (the Nevers-en-France series).
