On the occasion of his exhibition at La Filature, Stephen Dock created a photographic work in immersion in the former Mulhouse prison a few months after its definitive closure. 36 gathers thirty-six images from the same film, edited in the original order of shooting. The work, constrained within itself, evokes the experience of confinement in a unique space, the "individual walk". By photographing it compulsively, the author takes possession of this place and confronts its walls.

Born in 1988, Stephen Dock quickly confronts the field with a first subject in Venezuela in 2008. His photography led him successively to Nepal, the West Bank, Syria, Iraq, Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom, Mali, the Central African Republic, Lebanon , Eritrea, and Indian Kashmir. His approach focuses on a visual research on our ability to build and evolve in an urban, cultural or political environment. He is particularly attached to the traces that all types of fractures, real or latent conflicts, classes or states of war leave on our contemporaries.

On the occasion of his exhibition at La Filature, Stephen Dock produced a photographic work immersed in the former Mulhouse remand center a few months after its final closure. 36 brings together thirty-six images from a single film edited in the original order of shots. The work, constrained within itself, evokes the experience of confinement in a single space, the "individual walk". By compulsively photographing it, the author takes over this place and confronts its walls.

Born in 1988, Stephen Dock quickly got into the field with a first subject in Venezuela in 2008. His photography took him successively to Nepal, the West Bank, Syria, Iraq, Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom, Mali, the Central African Republic, Lebanon, Eritrea, and even Indian Kashmir. His approach focuses on visual research on our ability to build and evolve in an urban, cultural or political environment. He is particularly attached to the traces that all types of fractures, real or latent conflicts, classes or states of war leave on our contemporaries.
