Following studies in sociology where he discovered the work of August Sanders, Eric Tabuchi began his career in photography. In 1999, along with other artists, he cofounded the collective Glassbox and has since taken part in its many exhibitions. In 2007, the artist also published the first in what has become a series of books – Hyper Trophy, Twentysix abandoned gazoline stations, Alphabet truck – at Florence Loewy’s. Tabuchi has shown his work at a number of major venues, including the Palais de Tokyo, Confort Moderne, and Les Abattoirs. Since 2012, he has been working on the Atlas of Forms. In 2017, he began the Atlas des Régions Naturelles (Atlas of Natural Regions), a project he intends to continue adding to and expanding over the next few years.
The son of a Japanese father and Danish mother, Tabuchi articulates his work around ideas of territory, memory, and identity. Architectural typologies form the main subject of his art. In addition to his photography, Tabuchi produces objects and creates installations.
