We had dreamed of Artus’s drawings. We got his photographs.
For the first time, Artus had a chance to share the photography that has always existed alongside his artistic work and even though he is better-known for his drawings, photography has always been at the heart of his work.
He let us into the foundation of his art, during a six-month residency in Beijing.
