Philippe Ramette

Philippe Ramette is a French conceptual artist best known for his surrealist photographs depicting himself in physically impossible situations, such as standing perpendicular to walls or walking on water, achieved through elaborate custom-made props and devices rather than digital manipulation. His practice blurs the boundaries between sculpture, performance, and photography, using the body as a vehicle to explore gravity, logic, and the absurd. Ramette's work challenges viewers' perceptions of reality while maintaining a deadpan, formal aesthetic rooted in philosophical inquiry.
