Alain Rivière was born in 1958 in Paris (FR), he lives and works in the south of France

Alain Rivière is a visual artist, filmmaker, and teacher at the Fine Arts School of Marseille. He lives, works, and keeps a distance in the south of France.

He develops, writes Jean-Yves Jouannais, “a work that seems to be the anarchic and polymorphic expansion of a very old and long-forgotten dream, which was supposed to be a book, the book. […] On closer inspection, it appears that this draft of a commercial catalog is more of an encyclopedia project. An encyclopedia of a world that does not exist. An encyclopedia that would not explain a world, but would attempt to constitute it. And the mode of constitution of this world would be less about inventory or compilation, and more about removal, palinode, and erasure.”
