François Dey (1981, Fribourg, Switzerland) lives and works in Amsterdam, studied engineering in Fribourg, Foto Klasse with Friedl Kubelka vom Gröller in Vienna, at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, had residencies in IFP in Beijing for 6 months and at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht for 1 year.

François’s practice balances itself in between depicting situations of collaboration and individual escapism. The work is used as a medium to forge personal memories with people as well as trying to take distance to an overflown sensitivity.

Fiddling for the right time, in other words, creating a scenario for chance to show her face.
