Hors les murs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fred Mortagne<\/a>, also known as French Fred, was drawn into skateboarding at the age of 8. What began as a \u201cuseless wooden toy\u201d quickly became a true life path, offering freedom, adventure, and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A self-taught artist, he later turned to black-and-white photography to elevate the choreography of bodies, the lines of architecture, and to craft a unique visual poetry. Influenced by artists such as Cartier-Bresson and Anton Corbijn, his style rejects the colorful clich\u00e9s of skateboarding imagery in favor of monochrome purity and urban graphic aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His poetic and graphic approach to skateboarding has deeply influenced a whole generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winner of the Red Bull Illume award, Leica collaborator, and author of the book Attraper au Vol<\/em>, Fred offers a singular perspective on the urban environment, which he transforms into a silent choreographic stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fred will be present this season at UMA to share his unique vision of movement, skateboarding, and architecture \u2014 through photo-reportage, aesthetic detours, and discussions around his creative process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
