The newspaper La Provence d’Aix has published an article on the photographic work of Bruno Palisson: “Bruno Palisson, a look at the Arles meetings”
On July 7, 2022, the newspaper La Provence d’Aix published an article dedicated to the photographic work of Bruno Palisson, represented by Art trope gallery.
Bruno Palisson is an architect in the city, but he also works in a field of plastic art. To be more precise, after falling into the pot of photography being small.

To be with them, to go to the essentials, to the simplest and to be as close as possible to our origins to perhaps be better reborn and perhaps for the first time live. It is this reunion with our origins, this nature, ourselves, that I wished to share with you.” The photo addict from Aix-en-Provence who will not hesitate to travel the 75 km separating his home from the Arles arenas will share…
