The Tomorrow’s Gone project received support for documentary photography from the National Center for Visual Arts.
Influenced by photojournalism from a very young age, Elliott Verdier soon began to question his role as a witness and the subjectivity of his perspective. His work naturally moves away from breaking news and embraces the slowness of the view camera, exploring the shadows of our world in search of what is invisible to us yet universal: the memory of present and past lives, and the path it sets for us. His photography thus exudes a melancholic anticipation, a suspended moment, a silence that gives way to our existential questions. Through a delicate aesthetic, it is no longer a matter of looking solely through the prism of our wounds, but of seeing above all the grace that emerges from our struggles, and that of resilience—constant—which overcomes our fragilities.
Elliott Verdier was born in 1992 in Paris (France) and graduated from the Écoles de Condé in 2015.
