Emile Rubino is a photographer, writer and a co-founder of the magazine Le Chauffage. In his practice, he considers the photographic image above all as a physical object, closely linked to the context in which it is inserted – notably that of the exhibition. He focuses on the complex relationships between the notions of art and labour as they pertain to the production and reception of photography.

His work combines a wide array of genres, registers, techniques and is not limited to a particular field of study or a single mode of production. This deliberate eclecticism enables him to constantly call into question the social, artistic and ideological codes of the images he creates or refers to. He thus complicates his own position as an author and the way in which this influences viewers’ perception. What holds our attention in his photographs are often details that can disrupt our gaze, allowing  anecdotes or pictorial oddities to crop up in a given environment and become a discursive subject. 

Rubino plays with the ambiguity of the photographic medium. His recent examination of the figure of artists in their studio – inspired by his experience in residency at Lindre-Basse – attests to this. Everyday observations become anchor points for exploring the conditions of creation in the rural environment and the role of artists in society.

Open studio on Wednesday August 27th 2025 at 6.30 pm, free and open to all.  
Address: 10b rue des cigognes 57260 Lindre-Basse
