Biography
Biography
Gilbert Garcin was born in La Ciotat in June 1929. He was not particularly interested in photography, and managed a factory which sold lamps. When he retired, he participated in a photography contest, and won the first prize, which allowed him to go to a Photomontage training course organized by the photographer Pascal Dolémieux during the Rencontres d'Arles in 1992. The technique fascinated him, and he began at 65 years old a photographer career, always using the same technique in a rather surrealist technique. He became very well known worldwide for his very particular style.
