Gilbert Garcin

Glbert Garcin spent most of his life managing a lamp factory in France and at 65, he retired and took up a trick photography workshop. For the past ten years he has been creating comical, surreal collages / sculptures from paper, sand, string, rocks, pieces of a meccano and other discarded objects which he then photographs, he almost always features a cut-out of himself in his black and white images – ‘confronting the meanings and absurdities of the human condition in stark, dream-like landscapes and situations’..
