Originally from Le Havre in the Haute-Normandie region of northern France, photographer and filmmaker Théo Gosselin currently divides his time between Paris and Amiens. With a nod to forebears like Ryan McGinley, Nan Goldin and Larry Clark, Gosselin depicts underground lifestyles from within, showing his friends in pursuit of freedom and escape from their regular lives:
The subjects in Théo Gosselin’s images are friends rather than models, and the situations are not mythic constructions but glimpses of an underground lifestyle in a post-9/11 and post-AIDS world in which social media has blurred the boundaries between public and private, and between being documented and simply being.
